@ScotHomestead@gardening. The garden vegetable starts are looking to get in the garden soil here too. We’ve had a stretch of wet weather and that is great for the planet. It’s been too wet for proper planting. The soil has been a sticky mess when compacted around the starts. #growyourown, #minnesota, #nodig.

"Roll past gentle hills and picturesque farmland between the bustling hubs of Chicago and the Twin Cities. Scale Sugar Loaf Bluff in Winona and watch the Mighty Mississippi roll by. Dive into family fun in the Dells and sample culture, curds and a tall cold one in Milwaukee. Borealis Train | Amtrak
Some of the #NatureTrails that I explored around the #forested property yesterday. It smelled so good in the forest. I heard so many different wildlife calls. Forests are my happy places ❤️🌲🌲❤️
Nature is my spiritual temple.

I have a special connection to #WildRiver#StatePark as it's the last place where I went #camping with my beloved #dog Gunnar. Gunnar was truly the best dog ever. He's been gone since March of last year but sometimes the #grief comes on so suddenly that it's like being punched in the gut. I miss him terribly & I treasure my memories of walking through the prairie grass and sitting by the river.

"The legacy of 3M chemical waste from former dumps, the underground PFAS plume has tainted drinking water supplies for years. Over the next 50 years, it is expected to reach new areas in Oakdale and Woodbury"
Dealing with PFAS, 3M's legacy... a very expensive one.
"Those who have never seen Superior get an inadequate, even inaccurate idea, by hearing it spoken of as a 'lake,' and to those who have sailed over its vast extent the word sounds positively ludicrous. Though its waters are fresh and crystal, Superior is a sea. It breeds storms, and rain and fogs, like the sea. It is cold in mid-summer as the Atlantic. It is wild, masterful, and dreaded as the Black Sea." - Rev. George Grant, Ocean to Ocean, 1872
