It's our planet

This is our planet.

Please protect it - from all harms physical and political.

Spring in Minnesota

It is the first week of April, folks, and this is what it looked like on the Minnesota State Fairgrounds this week. 

During this business trip, I also took a side excursion to Austin, Minnesota.

That's the home of Hormel - the folks who bring us SPAM and Cure 81 hams.

There are many other foods in their lineup of products - including Muscle Milk - and close to my heart - salsa!  Who would have thunk!

The drive to Austin, to my surprise, was through The Valley of the Jolly Ho-Ho-Ho Green Giant...

Now, if the the snow will melt, the tractors will get into the fields and all will be good with the world.

Oh, the dirt in Minnesota - as best I could tell - is black.  I think that's good for growing.
