So. We are a little wierd. No, no – stop all that protesting, we are. [would it kill you to protest just a little? sheeesh] We try to get up north to visit Ellyn and Jason and the short people as often as possible. And every time, we go the long way, because on the long way, we get to drive through these.
Crazy huh? Cause you know I’m all about the natural stuff, like flowers and woods and waterfalls and all, and windmills don’t grow up outta the ground. They were put there by a man [name that tune!]. [many men actually, but whatever] Still, we love them just the same. They seem like they could have grown there spontaneously. If the earth could decide how to produce energy, I am sure it would start sprouting windmills.
There are other things I like about them, like the fact this particular bunch of them has helped some family farms prosper, and that they help make energy cheaper for an area that can use a financial boost. Mostly though, I just like to look at them.
You can find another post about these windmills here. It is from before I moved to WordPress, so the photos are smaller.
I think they are mesmerizing….
A perfect word MPM – we get hip-no-tized! :)
We like going the long route, too. Much more scenic. I love the rolling green fields and puffy white clouds! We have some of those things near Palm Springs
I know it they are majestic somehow.
What’s the song, I just can’t grab it in my brain….
I love those too! When I would drive home from Appleton I got to drive past 2 and I thought they were amazing. I cannot even imagine driving past a whole farm of them! Too cool! :)
Windmills are too inefficient for me to think they have any appeal. I drive by a vast amount of them several times a year in Iowa. I do like that song though-Peaches by the Presidents of the United States of America
Anon – the only one who got the song :)
Peaches, by The Presidents of the United States of America. Woo-Hoo! What do I win?
Guess I should have read the comments before posting…
Sky – I believe you have already won the grand prize for life: getting to be my brother. Nothing can top that.
