Loon Lake’s glassy surface smoked in the cool morning air. Birds, bugs, humans– all things were still and silent for a moment. The thud of a pine cone hurled from high above and the red squirrel’s shrill chatter broke the calm. Movement and sound swept over us and my mind returned to cooking, writing and preparing for another day.
This time last year Amy and I were headed to the Minnesota State Fair to volunteer at the @savetheBWCA booth. The noise and energy of the State Fair seems so far away– rides and music, giant pumpkins, any food imaginable on a stick and throngs of people taking it all in. A tub of Sweet Martha’s cookies and a bottomless glass of fresh milk sound pretty good though. If you are headed to the @mnstatefair this year, be sure to stop by the Save the Boundary Waters booth in the Dairy Building and learn more about how you can help protect this national treasure.
