I don’t know where I got this photo but it makes me laugh every time I look at it.

At the Lilac Ranch - mostly veggies from our garden tonight. (Not the red onion.) Oh, and steak grilled by my fabulous husband, Lars.

Good morning from Dennis and me! (Dennis is a very sweet stray who showed up last winter. He now has a home on our farm.)

I’m sure that it was a difficult decision. We were the second home for our dog Thor. His first home didn’t work out. Suzie will find her next home, too.

We occasionally get stray cats showing up at our farm, especially in the spring when males are looking for a girlfriend. They won’t have much luck here since we spay and neuter all our kitties. Dennis is pictured here when he arrived two months ago. The second picture was taken today.

Same stray, snuggling in the house, 4/17/25.

Today it was an honor to meet and shake hands with Governor Tim Walz to hear him talk about the hardship the tariffs will be for crop farmers (like Lars and me).

This fellow showed up to our farm last week. Super sweet and friendly. He’s now getting meds, and he has an appointment to get “tutored” at the vet!

Friendly orange tom cat who will soon be neutered.

There’s a lot that’s made me sad in the last two weeks. But - today is my birthday and my dear husband took me out for lunch to a bistro in a tiny town in Minnesota that exceeded all our expectations. We casually mentioned that it was my birthday and they surprised me with a small cake.

My dad told me, when I was a little girl, that this picture of him was taken when he was “young, rich, and handsome”.
