| Introduction | Welcome to a 4th-generation little farm in west-central Minnesota. I hope you enjoy photos and ramblings about life on the edge of the northern plains and the beginning of the big woods. I live here alone, but it is not a lonely life. There is a lot to see and do here on my little place, lots to observe in nature, and I keep very busy in daily life at home, in the towns around, and in my community. |
