Pie

Two baby calves this Sunday,  one here and one in Connell. I'll get pictures tomorrow.

I actually had big plans for strawberry pie today, but I was missing an ingredient, strawberry jello. Lemon it is! With strawberries on the side.

History

I just got this picture today. It shows students at the old Riverside School (I mentioned yesterday) that was on our farm. Elsie Torppa #28, was our neighbor, as was #15 Sylvia Hanhi Wiitala. Herman Gollersrud farmed right across the river from us. I love the overalls and Pollyanna dresses. Shoes optional.

Flowers

Daffodils that Hank picked for me yesterday.

These "wild" bulbs have bloomed here every spring since we moved here in 1972. I think a lot of them were planted by schoolchildren.  There once was a schoolhouse on the hill that's now our calving pasture. There were steps and a trail down to the river where the kids tied up rowboats. No road in those days, but a railroad ran down the hill near where the driveway is.

Dinner

Yesterday I was hungry for a cheeseburger with mushrooms.

Probably more than a quarter pounder. 

Sliced Portobello mushrooms.

Gouda cheese

It was big so I hollowed out the upper bun a little bit.

Hank said it was delicious.
