My sis in law and I stopped to see my son in Sioux Falls SD and we all went to the Sertoma Butterfly House. We spent several hours enjoying the butterflies from all over the world and pursuing them with our cameras! Well Barb and I did, the kids walked thru and then had to wait for us! Several times they would flit past and I could feel their wings brush against my cheek. Butterfly kisses for me! Great place to visit if you are ever in Sioux Falls!

After an extended abscence, I'm back! I never intended to be gone so long, but habits are like that. I got out of the habit due to traveling and such. I miss taking photos every day, I miss blogging and I miss those of you who read and comment. I took this in late May when I went to visit my sis in law in SD. That weekend storms tore up parts of central SD and ND with heavy rains, winds and even some hail if I remember right. We were blessed to have missed it all! The heavens declare the glory of God! What looks to be grand cloud formations are but little bits of cotton in the creators hand. The richest colors we see will be pastel in comparison to what our eyes will behold in heaven and the wind, lightning or the storms of life are all under the control of the Master who says to the storm "Peace be still" and the wind and waves obey! Storms can cause us to fear, help me Father to look past my fear and see your hand at work.

As I play catch up, I will post the date the photo was taken
One last pic from my excursion around Huron. This wonderful old building caught my attentions. Many of the windows are broken but there are window air conditioning units on the ground level. Cook Seed Co. the sign says and "Vita Ferm". Found out that before the Cook Seed Co. used the building it belong to Swift. Meat packing perhaps?
The City of Huron SD, has mural painted on many of it's buildings. Beautiful art that depicts bits of Hurons and SDs histories. I believe this one showed the variety of folks that looked to homestead land. I would love to get back there and properly photograph each one. Maybe someday. We all have history, some of it's good, some of it we'd rather forget. The most important is that we've made the decision to accept God's grace in Jesus Christ and trust Him for our eternal salvation. Then, he forgives and forget the history we regret and repent of, and has a plan for our future!

Saturday afternoon we took a little tour of Huron, Barb showed me some wonderful old buildings (I love old buildings!) One of our first stops was the octagon house. Really, it has 8 sides. It is in the process of a slow revitalization! If I can learn more, I'll share it with you!
Due to 11 days of no sun, I've been a little blue, didn't even want to take photos. I'll post a few others from my trip for the days I missed. Sorry for my absence, I've missed this little daily ritual and hopefully am back on track!
