Sitting on the porch drinking coffee and watching the hummingbirds a couple of days ago brought back memories of spending time on the porch in the early morning hours with a friend of mine.
As the Aug. 15 wild rice season opening date approaches, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources reminds harvesters that rice stands must be ripe before they can be legally harvested.
I provide food for the wildlife to help them flourish and reproduce, but also so I can enjoy watching them. Some of my efforts work better than others.
