Michael’s Musings
October is a top month. The leaves are changing. Green gives way to yellow, orange, red, and gold. Roads that looked ordinary all summer have become scenic drives and it’s worth slowing down on that daily walk through the neighborhood to soak it all in.
October is a busy month. School is in full...
It’s that time of year where we’ll begin seeing large farm equipment and machinery hard at work late into the evening.
The leaves are beginning to turn, days are growing shorter, and across the Wright County countryside, combines will start moving through fields. For farmers, harvest is the...
I imagine many people have heard the term “Flock camera” in recent days. The topic seems to be popping up everywhere, from news stories to online discussions, and just about everyone seems to have an opinion.
