Big house on the Prairie

Last night we had an almighty thunder and lightening storm which looked spectacular through our picture window in the great room.  This part of Iowa is actually less prairie and more rolling hills.  And very green.  I am in full organization mode and I was standing in my huge walk in closet with the hope that I would finally be able to store all of my clothing sensibly.  Sadly, I still just have way too many clothes.

I am still in awe of the new house.  It's the nicest and largest home I have ever stepped foot in, much less owned and lived in.  The size of the kitchen alone makes me appear to be a miniature figure in an over sized dollhouse.  Butler's pantry but no butler.  Two sinks. Regular sink, vegetable sink.  It's like a cooking show.  I keep pinching myself but then I remember I do live in Iowa now...sort of evens things out a bit.
