For those of you who watch the Northfield News for Leif’s articles and haven’t found them the past three weeks – they have been re-directed to the Saturday Northfield News and are located in the Real Estate Ad section. We have suggested to the News that this section should probably be renamed, however, we’ll have [...]

Plant Spotlight of the Week: Whitespire Birch
This disease resistant Japanese birch has shown itself to be a good performer in our tough Midwestern climate. Growing quickly to a nice size, stems mature to a lovely white smooth bark that stands out in the landscape. For best results, plant the tree in good fertile soil with plenty of sunlight. H – 40′; [...]

End of Summer Picnic
Yesterday we held our end of summer picnic since some of our high school and college staff are heading off to school. We have had several great young adults working for us this year – and sad to say that alot of them have headed their separate ways now with fall sports starting and their [...]
Photo Gallery
We have just started a great new feature on our website – a Photo Gallery. It’s going to be a wonderful feature (as long as I keep on taking the photos!) Take a few minutes and go through the album(s) as they are added. Any thoughts would be appreciated! Share this:ShareFacebookEmail

Family and Friends
Leif and I had our little grandson Jordan with us for a couple of days this week and thoroughly enjoyed having him. He is such a good little boy (all grandparents say that don’t they?) Yesterday afternoon he sat out on the porch in the office, in Grandma’s hammock and had a good time! Today, [...]
Quetico Trip – 2004
Leif and I got away to the Boundary Waters and Quetico last week. We spent a week in Canada with Leif’s two cousins, Matt & Mary. We had perfect weather, the fishing was exceptionally good, and I was able to get alot of really good pictures! This was the first time in Quetico that we [...]
Plant Spotlight of the week: Apple trees
I like apple trees in home landscapes because they offer lovely spring blossoms and delicious fruit from late August into November. Dwarf and semi-dwarf trees will not overwhelm a landscape and I think it’s really nice for children to grow up seeing that food crops actually must be planted, nurtured, harvested and processed. This will [...]
Russian Sage
Leif has a new article posted in the library. Here are the first paragraphs: During this warm period of the year set your lawn mower to cut the grass just a little bit longer. The grass will do better in the heat when allowed to stay a little longer rather than being cut back to [...]
