This picture was taken around July 12th 2009.
I wish I could do it again. Soon. Craving the sun. California = sunny = big fat myth.
This picture was sent via email to some friends along with the following email:

• the picture below—i just had to share. I had to text and find out what the heck these thingys are called even though i had seen them for ages in kansas and california and so many other places  (thanks melissa for texting me back and letting me know what they are called—a HAY BALE!). well, this picture was taken a few days ago in south dakota….near chamberlin….in route to one of the native american reservations.
  

• i begged mama to let me climb one. because i had always wondered what it would be like to roll on one…and well…let me tell you it was NOT an easy task to climb on it. THEY LOOK SMALL FROM AFAR BUT THEY ARE AS TALL AS ME!!!!
  

• we had to dig out a suit case from the trunk of my car to climb this and even then it took a lot of my upper body strength and THEN i had to endure nicks and cuts and scraps…but i did and i tell you…..i was SOOOO HAPPY! it was the best. i could have laid on that thing under the sun for a long time!!!! on the small highway next to us, people were honking on by—which reaffirmed they too had thought about doing this at some point!
