Molly and I have spent the last few days on a friend’s farm in SE Minnesota near Lanesboro. As I have noted recently in this blog, now is the time to get out in the countryside and enjoy the the explosion of colors. I found that while black-eyed susans are predominant up north, down in southern Minnesota an amazing number of tiger lillies are thrown into the equation. In fact birding has been so good over the past week, I am falling way behind on potential posts. Here is a starter!
