“It IS him!”

“Hooray! We’re going to the farm!” (Scroll down to see Elizabeth’s pure glee that Grandpa Fred was on his way.)IMG_7652 IMG_7655 IMG_7661 IMG_7659 IMG_7658 IMG_7657

 My daughters and I drove across the North Dakota prairie this morning, pulled off the interstate and waited for my dad to arrive in a ripening spring wheat field. I had a quick meeting to drive to and he drove the girls to our family farm where my parents and the GriggsDakota crew are preparing for barley harvest to begin. To our kids, harvest is better than Christmas, as you can see on Elizabeth’s face in the photos. They await in anticipation for the combines to get rolling, to ride with their grandpa or anyone offering and for my mom to make her harvest meals.  It’s a grand time on the North Dakota prairie in the amber waves of grain.

Welcome to the Prairie…

I am a mom of three kids and a wife to Nathan. Together we live on the North Dakota prairie, 97 miles from a Starbuck's. I share about family, food, farming and the prairie that I love. I used to commute 98 miles one-way to work but it required too much coffee. So now I am home, consulting, speaking, writing and primarily, juggling family life.
