Happy Halloween everyone! Friday was a perfect day for school kids to indulge in a bucket full of sugar and stay home with their parents the next day! My kids may be grown and gone, but I’ve experienced the sugar rush many times, and it’s not pretty.

Have you ever transplanted peonies? I hadn’t but knew that fall was the season to do so. I utilized our mild weekend to dig out some that Grandpa Ole was ready to get rid of, and my goodness were they a pain in the butt to get out of the ground!

Oh, October! It’s always trying so hard to be creepy and mysterious. The rainy, wet weather is making everything dark and dreary, including the mood of a lot of farmers. Uff da! I know there’s still some crop out there, so hopefully this is the last of the wet weather for a while.

Last week was my birthday, and if you took a few seconds to text, call, send a card or post a message on Facebook, thank you. I love my birthday month even though sometimes October can be a little spicy in the weather department.

There’s no better way to get out of a cloud funk than a wedding! Last Saturday, we road tripped to Fargo for the wedding of a beautiful young couple from Langdon, Amber and Kyle Witzel. The sun was shining, and the couple was married outdoors with beautiful scenery and landscape decorated for fall.

Illness combined with deadlines is a recipe for chaos, and my day has certainly reflected it. Phil and I spent the weekend battling whatever bug is going around, and I was still feeling the effects of dehydration and fatigue when I started the work week.
