Saturday Garden Blooms

July is nearing and that means the gardens are really starting to come into their own. 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…

Farmers Learn & Network, Too!

A week ago I was in Duluth to kick off the summer conference of the Minnesota Turkey Growers Association.

We have multiple opportunities for education at the […] Read more…

Weekend Snaps | Father’s Day 2016

This is not going to be the most riveting blog post I’ve ever written – mostly because it’s almost 9 p.m. and I’m tired, people. I got back from my work’s summer conference on Friday afternoon and it has taken me two full days to recuperate. Seriously, this is one of those annoying details about […] Read more…

Joe, […] Read more…

Pretty Peonies

It’s peony’s time in the garden right now. After the lilacs reach their prime, it seems the peonies come to life and take over the scents and smells in the air. Such lush, pretty flowers!

Shoe Enthusiast | Summer Sandals

Those who know me best know that I do have a bit of a thing for shoes. ðŸ˜‰ I think it’s fair to say, though, that my closet is not overloaded with shoes. I am particular about what I buy. And I’d say I’ve also moved away from sky high heels, which were somehow super fun (but rather […] Read more…
