@ the Farm: 2026 Season Started

Wowza the roar of the breeze today. Like the momma of momma’s, Mother Nature is still upset with us 2 leggers. Work harder, smarter, faster. Harder, smarter, faster. Harder, smarter, faster 😬 I had to anchor my bird cage or it was gonna try & fly away (yes yes my beaner should be flipped) and it tipped a 1/2 chewed Beaver-loss tree. Thankfully only one side will need an immediate cut down to take it off its neighbor. One of the Beavers had started on it Fall 2023, and a c

The predator birds are rolling thru strong - time to get that standing mulch down to the ground & move that line y’all - because the grass is coming! I can’t wait to see the nice ranchers bring some of my favorite babies back to the pasture across the way. It’s always fun for me when they swing the gate - because more company watching the sun come up at coffee time & then soon enough, I get to say hi to the north critter crew at mail pickup, when they get to run west. It’s

Today was almost stitches day for one. I rolled back in from a trip to town-town, & there’s mom getting after standing mulch…. But oh, she had an injury for me to check 🙄 Thankfully, her little electric kick it saw is pretty safe, and it didn’t eat in stitches deep, just steri strip / maybe some super glue once it settles, BUT - What happened to my mom is EXACTLY why I firmly believe, in laughing whenever someone tells me: “You could get so much more done with power tools”

What a beautiful morning, for what would have been, my father Tom’s 75th birthday. Dad was born a farmer, taken off the farm as a young man, transplanted to Florida, where his love of outside, became a love of surfing. When we were little girls, learning to ski at Terry Peak, Dad would often say “skiing is just surfing on frozen water”. He also once dropped me at the south entrance of a Badlands loop trail, with very little gear, and a map, with the other-side where he would

Wowza, that wind sure sent the corn husks flying! Strong clouds & now about to be buried in again. This March is ‘In like a lion, lamb nap, ROAR! Hopefully it shakes out for our April showers. And for all in harms way tonight - as always - you’re in my prayers for the kindest resolution possible for all parties involved. Times like these - in my personal life & the world - I am so grateful for the comfort of nature. And since I can’t do anything ‘bout any of that… 567 d

Another beautiful coating of white gold all around this morning and I am so grateful for the spring moisture. (And the fresh goodies the inside time brought) The redwing blackbirds are back in full force. I had a flock of young ones just outside my door on their way north, and I so love their happy chatter. And - Birdie Nerdies rejoice! Birdcast is live: https://dashboard.birdcast.org/region/US-MN-173 Happy extra sunshine time - get those wildlife photos in to our fantastic

Almost 50’s / Coating of ice to melt, the spring weather roller coaster ride brought us needed moisture (yay!) & thunder with our grail. My buddy Roscoe went strait to his hidey - hole under the bed to ride it out. 😂🫣 Since the cookie jar was empty & spring demo on the schedule, took advantage of the inside time the yummy way: The great great great grand babies of our wonderful monarch friends are fluttering down south, ‘tuit time ahead, get it guys: https://maps.journeyno

What a lovely gift of moisture, official measure was just above 6” - wohoo! Another lovely melt out in the forecast & maybe more snow Saturday? Ok Spring ☺️
