The shores of Lake Gitche Gumee

 

It’s been so long since I’ve seen the Great Lakes, I’m beginning to think they were just a myth.
A body of water as large and deep as Lake Superior seems downright impossible when I think of it from way down here on the floodplains of Texas. Even though this immediate area is out of the horrible drought we had last year, there’s still barely any water around – except the humidity, water locked in the air that always hangs heavy and just above our heads.

I miss the Great Lakes.

I miss autumn.
