Bucolic Minnesota

The Luce Line. A converted railroad bed that stretches from near my house to South Dakota. A playing stomping ground for childhood Stephen.


The woods behind my parents house. This is old growth forest and part of the original Big Woods that use to cover huge tracts of Minnesota and Wisconsin:


More Big Woods.


Bucolic MN. Head east from my parent's house and you are in the city. Head west and you see horse farms:



Walk me out in the morning dew, my honey . . .


Local fauna with two flavors of local ice cream (for the record, Peppermint Stick ice cream and Peppermint bon-bon, both from Licks Unlimited in Excelsior Minnesota on Lake Minnetonka):

Ok, what's the difference between Peppermint Stick and Peppermint bon-bon?

Urban Peasant said...

Peppermint stick is peppermint ice cream with little bits of broken up candy cane. Peppermint is green, mint ice cream with chocolate chips in it! YUM!

Ah, so Peppermint bon-bon is just a fancy way of saying Mint Chocolate Chip. :)

Urban Peasant said...

indeed. but peppermint bon-bon sounds more alluring and tasty!
