UFF-DA! Hopefully I spelled it right this time. After using the term for over a year in hopes of fitting in better around these parts, I realized I spelled it ‘OOF-DA’ at some point in my column. I’m sure that didn’t assist my ultimate goal of assimilating into the region.

I hope everyone enjoys the Ag Outlook special issue in this week’s Valley News and Views. My contribution was a brief overview of my experiences as a small-scale commercial beekeeper in North Dakota.

Page 1 of 1 0 words That’s what it said on the lower left hand of my computer screen for some time as I sat here trying to figure out what I am going to write about this week. I had a teacher in high school, Mrs. Hart in Langdon, tell me and my classmates some valuable advice.

Dear Editor, Why is Mesa, Arizona better or worse than Drayton? LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION! WEATHER! WEATHER! WEATHER! Why else would Mesa be known as “Drayton, South?” The people there are friendly and welcoming; of course most of them live in the Dakotas and Minnesota the rest of the year.

Unfortunately both Titans Basketball teams have seen their seasons end with disappointing, yet very exciting, losses in the play-in round of the regional tournament. I was hoping that at least one of the two teams would win and get to compete in the tournament at the Betty.

Usually by deadline time I have developed a theme for my weekly column. This week that didn’t quite happen, so I thought I would share a few thoughts with you this week.

On Saturday I had the pleasure of being invited to do a presentation to a group of homeschooling mothers in Cavalier. The topic was journaling something I do a lot of, and for a lot of different reasons, too. Although writing is my job, journaling and art are my peace.

Why in the world would I wait until the morning our favorite paper goes to print to start my article?! Possibly because I work best under pressure? Or maybe I am just a busy (or procrastinating) person? Maybe it’s a mix of both. Yes, I think I’ll go with that option.

Gazing across the white landscape of the Northern Plains, I long for green spaces. I daydream about hiking in forests, visiting botanical gardens and strolling in tree-lined parks. This longing is more than just a defense mechanism against our winter blizzards.
