I was away most of last week and on into this one, celebrating the release of my new album “Northern Lights” and playing a few concerts around the state.
I have a million things to say about the sold out shows, the little girls who got up on stage to dance with me, the generous crowd and the awesome musicians who backed me, but I have to get out the door to catch another gig.
So I’ll just do what I did when I got home last night before the sun set and let you take in what the rain created while I was out traipsing around.
I just couldn’t resist a quick walk before bed.
Can’t you just smell the green grass growing?
I think this is what heaven is like…
Like the rain after a hot day…and a warm day after the rain.
To celebrate my favorite kind of weather, here’s a video of me singing “Raining” at my CD release concert in Fargo on Sunday.
Peace, love and growing things,
Jessie
Meanwhile, back at the ranch... 
Love your pictures.
I was born and grew up in N.D. but now live in Texas. Wildflowers are a passion of mine and I especially like your photos of them. I always try to identify them and usually can, but the pink, blue flowers in this post have me stymied. I mean the ones where there are so many under the trees. Could you tell me what the name of them is? Thank you. Lois Crook
Beautiful photos of your area, and video of you. I think it is wonderful that your Dad performs with you. It doesn’t get better than that in life!
Those are beautiful photos, as always!
I’m certain the unidentified plant is Hesperis matronalis or dame’s rocket, not native to North Dakota. What do you think, Jessie?
I’m not sure the name of that flower. It’s more likely a weed, but I like it. Will have to do some investigating…
