I must be feeling ornery today. I was reading the Sunday Star Tribune newspaper this morning and this article caught my eye in the business section – “Going Small Pays Off,” a question-and-answer article about a manager of a Twin Cities farmer’s market.

Tonight, as I was going through all the photos I took, I realized I had captured quite a few different looks. So tonight, I bring you a melange of Morgan expressions […] Read more…
