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.
Interests garden, nature, birds, pets, woodworking, farms, trees, fixing farm buildings, church, art, painting, photography, European and American history, making old things useful
Favorite Movies My favorite movie is the black and white version of "Great Expectations" that most Minnesota kids of my generation watched in 9th grade English literature class.
Favorite Music Dan Fogelberg, Gordon Lightfoot, ABBA, the Byrds, early Beatles, Elgar, Grieg
Favorite Books Anything by John Le Carre', all the works of Alan Furst who is the best espionage suspense writer, Dickens, especially Great Expectations, Bleak House, Oliver Twist
