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.

A week ago I was in Duluth to kick off the summer conference of the Minnesota Turkey Growers Association. This event is a chance for our members – the turkey farmers, turkey companies, and related industry folks in our state – to get together, network, and learn.

Well, here we are on Sunday night yet again. How was your weekend? Ours can best be shown in photos: Look who came to visit us for the weekend! Our niece, Miss Morgan, who is 2 (and a half) and did a pretty decent job of keeping us busy, busy, busy! Morgan is obsessed with painting! […] Read more…
Those who know me best know that I do have a bit of a thing for shoes. 😉 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…
