Here we are on the last Sunday in August. How did THAT happen? Teacher Man goes back to school tomorrow (it’s workshop week) and Joe has just one week of vacation left. While I know I will eventually be happy to get back on a regular schedule, I don’t think I’m quite ready for this yet. Not that […] Read more…
Another August weekend is in the books! We spent ours around home doing some yard work, enjoying an evening with good friends, and doing something Joe absolutely hates with a passion – shopping. School shopping, more specifically. I should’ve snapped a picture of his crabby expression in the Nike store – our first stop of […] Read more…
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…

I’m off to Washington DC tomorrow morning for a work-related conference and I’m looking forward to seeing my turkey peeps for a few days. […] Read more…

The lilacs and peonies are long gone, but they are replaced by asiatic lilies, colorful annuals, and soon-to-bloom coneflowers, rudbeckia, hydrangea, and daisies. I so love every season of the garden as each is different and has its own […] 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…
