Accessible parking for the win! I recently made my second trip ever to Costco. My first time there I was impressed by the accessible parking but since it was winter I could not see all the detail and their commitment to going “above and beyond” the ADA Code.
Trading our frostbite in for sunburn and bug bites! Spring is here folks! (By the time you read this there will hopefully be no snow, and little to no ice on the lakes). This year’s Spring season looks/ed a bit like this; snowbank on one side of the yard and grass on the other. It’s safe to say we are/were in the transition period where we have all seasons going on in our yards at once. It’s the norm for us in Finland to be outside this time of year with shorts and a tank, yet we have a winter cap and gloves on digging around in flower gardens or tidying up the yard. (Who am I kidding this can be normal attire all year round!) Who among us does this? Shoveling snow from a snowbank to (spread it around), so it melts faster. How about the endless temporary ditch digging we all do across our driveways, or from the back yard to the front so it runs down the actual ditch. Maybe not everyone in Finland has a ditch…hmm, can’t be… we all have a ditch, right?

“My sheep hear my voice.” John 10:27a Parenthood is life changing. I remember feeling like a parent when I was a young child living on a farm in northwestern Minnesota.
Spring Cleaning In the Hundred Acre Wood, during the season of spring, you will find Piglet spring cleaning, beating his rugs outside his tree house. Some say spring cleaning comes from Persian New Year (first day of Spring) or the Jewish anticipation of Passover.
Let the yard work begin, or not? Many have been made aware of the “No Mow May” campaign as cities like Superior, WI have recently adopted this tactic to help pollinator recovery efforts. I often get the question about when is a good time to clean up the yard and garden in spring, and are there any pointers?
