Kathleen's windowboxes have peaked. The heat and drought are stressing everything right now. The corn across the road looks terrible. Loving care has kept these flowers radiant. Each year Kathleen tries something a little different... but her hot pink petunias and yellow marigolds always find a corner.We watch the weather and see that the Rolfsrud Ranch seems to be getting rain in western North Dakota. We hope to get some word from our farmers soon.
