Prairie des Femmes is a Lil Prairillon

At first I feared this place. While building our house Louis lived in a 70's pull camper out in the field. Sometimes at night we sat in the round of light that came from the sliding doors and illuminated our tiny half moon of the prairie. I was aware of the animals and the alive feeling of the praire at night. In 2005 after the hurricane came we came straight to the Prairie des Femmes, no place felt safer.
