A few completely random points I want to make before I dive into the photos I took over the weekend: The mosquitos are awful. Beyond awful. As in, we can’t even be outside at any time of the day or evening without getting rudely assaulted – unless we wear bug spray. Which is all good […] Read more…
I’m back from my work trip/vacation and have a ton of photos to share. But first … I took some pics of my gardens tonight. The lighting was perfect – the mosquitos were not. (I risked a zillion bites for all these photos! Ha!) I’ll be back soon to write about our East Coast road […] Read more…
How was your weekend? Ours was nice and uneventful at home. We golfed, we enjoyed time on our patio, and today I packed up my suitcase for the next two weeks.

(And certainly beyond grateful for the freedoms in the U.S. we have thanks to so many who gave their lives […] Read more…
We’ve had 3.6 inches of rain since Monday and it’s looking like Ireland around here. 🙂 It’s always amazing to me how flowers and veggies and seeds just know when it’s a “real” rain from nature – and not the water from my hose. Everything has seemed to pop up big-time since Monday! And even […] Read more…
Well, I have to say this week went by fairly quickly. It seems as if I spent the bulk of my time in the office troubleshooting technology issues. (While my title is “communications director” of the Minnesota Turkey Growers Association, I also wear the hats of human resources and IT/tech support by default in our […] Read more…
