Melting ice for tea in Minnesota. Human dignity prevails here. ❄️🕊️❤️

In Minnesota, we are shining. Today there was a sun halo with tiny diamonds of frozen water double refracting the light.

From Minnesota, Spring will come The great people of Minnesota will prevail. Minnesota❤️

I so needed green this winter, here in Minnesota. I am so proud of how Minnesotans are remaining peaceful as they demonstrate. I planted several greens in four 5 gallon grow bags in my bathtub with a tarp under the whole works and grow lights. A little chaotic, but check out the arugula! 🌱 #nature

I will be planting some skirret seeds this fall (here in zone 4a). Any advice from the gardening community? I understand this root perennial will take two years before there is anything to harvest. I am looking forward to this perennial root vegetable. It sounds just delicious. 🌱

I was sitting at my tent in the woods and this young buck walked 15 feet from me. I was in a green jacket and a camo cap pulled down. I was able to take a couple of photos. I sat stock still for an extra 15-20 minutes to make sure he wasn’t spooked. Beautiful! 🌿📷 #nature
