Good frosty morning from Collegeville. Zero degrees on the car dashboard display. Yuk. My brother Bill is in Arizona. Smart. No way that I am going to get the seed potatoes in the ground by next Friday. There is a 15 foot pile of snow where my garden was last year. I love Yukon Gold potatoes freshly dug from Mother Earth.
There is a village in central Minnesota with only one resident. It is near an old mill close to a stream. That would be Mill Stream Village in St. Joseph, and the one resident would be me. I moved in to a cottage in the village on Monday during a blizzard. Two guys from Red’s Transfer arrived at the loft at 8:15 in the morning and they left the village at 11:15. One fellow had been doing this work for over 20 years and the other 16. I did not hear them say “oops” even once. I still can’t find the box with the tea pot, but I did find the sauce pan, so all is well. The cottage to the south of mine is in the Parade of Homes , # 24, this weekend, so check it out.
