behind the woodpile and in the weeds are a number of poults. There
must have been at least twenty in all. And just in time for
Thanksgiving!

Viewed along with other historic sites in Lake Crystal during the
BEC Historical Society's Pub Crawl last Friday evening, the
Robinson House, as it is now called, was built in 1870, shortly
after the Dakota Conflict. Having survived the terrors of that
ordeal, Mr. Robinson built it with a eye out for security,
installing a hidden room dug into a wall in the basement in case
of further attacks. This house is much older than the trees that
surround it, and it is for sale.

Oh, Deer! - Jack Madsen
Still hanging around!
These two little ones are getting up there now to where they will soon lose their spots. They're fat and frisky and enjoy showing off by jumping and running around in circles. Mom isn't always impressed, though. She will whistle, stomp and snort if she senses your presence, implying, "Don't mess with me!"

but it still makes me laugh because she is so cute and funny! :)

"By the rude bridge that arched the flood," (Emerson)
. . . Where once Sir Henry Welcome stood -- (YT)
The bridge across the Watonwan River in Garden City
The bridge across the Watonwan River in Garden City
Certainly Sir Henry Welcome once stood here -- the founder of one of the world's largest pharmaceutical empires, one of The Remarkable Men from Garden City. (Win Grundmeier) This is also the spot where a beer truck once rolled over, providing free beer and conversation for an entire community.

The quiet waters of the Watonwan River reflect the white towers
supporting the Hwy. 20 bridge by our county park and canoe landing
a few miles south of Lake Crystal. Hidden also are the pilings for
the old grist mill a few yards downstream at the town of Watonwan,
a busy little village, now faded into the history of our beautiful
county.

Racoons - Ruth Olsen
These wayward racoons scampered up a tree in the yard when they spotted our Miniature Schnauzer.
