The pictures of your environment looked like our northern Minnesota home. I was interested to figure out that you are near Sandstone. We were about 20 miles west of Willow River, 20 miles east of the top of Mille Lacs. My tomatoes got nipped by frost once on August 15th!<BR/> Now we’re corn/soybeans/beef cattle farmers in the relative southland that is Indiana, still doing that subsistence thing, too!<BR/><BR/>I enjoy your blog--Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-29531297846587735392007-05-30T22:49:00.001-05:002007-05-30T22:49:00.001-05:00Sorry you've been sick- summer colds are the worst...Sorry you've been sick- summer colds are the worst.
