I was psyched to see Brandi Carlile is coming to MPLS again in Nov. I got into the presale only to see the *cheapest* tickets were $694ea PRE TAX, even in the balcony! There should be a discount for people who have been fans long enough to have seen her play the free stage at the State Fair. 💔

I've crocheted a lot of things over the years, but I'm extra proud of this extra long baby blanket I made for my niece. I modified the pattern to add the puff stitch stripes & ruffled border & it turned out better than I even imagined. ☺️

I dug & built a backyard pond (with bog filter & waterfall) from scratch almost totally alone over the last month-ish. I turned on the pump today & IT WORKED!!! Still gotta finish the edges, cover the liner, make it pretty, etc, but hot damn I did that! 🙌🏻

I took a video of the cow birth to show my kids. Showed it to them today & the wholesome & supportive crowd got me. "You got this, mama!" hollered at the birthing cow, gasps when hooves & head emerged, anxious faces & held breath, & cheers when baby finally arrived. So very Minnesotan. 🖤

I worried about Sunday afternoon State Fair crowds, but saw crop art, ate a Peri-Peri bowl, browsed the creative building, saw a cow birth, & pet newborn piglet+lamb in ~2.5hrs before Sierra Ferrell. State Fair sans kids is an elite experience! Ate pumpkin funnel cake walking 1mi to my car after. 🏆
