Oops - I was reminded by my astute brother - thanks, Tommy - that we had neglected to post our pics from our visit to the Poppens'. We had some technical difficulty that day with loading photos and I forgot to go back and do it. So here they are - the ones at the end would have been much funnier had I gotten them in the right order, but you get the idea. We are having fun!

Tommy - the windmills are 274 feet tall and have a staircase inside the column for workers to get to the engine at the top. My understanding is that most often farmers lease their land to the power companies - and the companies reap the rewards. The windmills operate year round but I don't know how much wind there has to be to make it move. The pics I posted were the most we saw in one spot - have seen other areas that had just 2 or 3.

Now off to bed........
