LIFE AT THE END OF A DIRT ROAD IN CENTRAL MINNESOTA

canoeing in our wetlands
raspberries growing wild on our property

I went on a little jaunt this afternoon to a farm just two miles down the road.

I thought maybe a few plump perfectly ripe strawberries would be nice…

and, oh… the leaf lettuce was so very pretty.

A dozen freshly laid eggs and some ripe and not-so-ripe tomatoes would be good… and the homemade citrus marmalade that glittered in the sunlight looked too yummy to resist.

The not-so-ripe tomatoes will go into a green tomato pie using my mom's recipe that she has made ever since I was a kid. Yes, it will most definitely show up on these pages.
