We have had a wonderful week enjoying local sights and tastes! A true “staycation”, we explored places in Minnesota and Wisconsin, including hiking in Carpenter Nature Center and trying out a new breakfast spot in St. Paul: Hope Breakfast.
Carpenter Nature Center has two campuses: the 425-acre Minnesota Campus with more than 10 miles of hiking trails and, just across the St. Croix river- the restored prairie and wooded bluffs of a 300-acre Wisconsin Nature Preserve. (Thomas and Edna Carpenter moved to the St. Croix Valley in the 1940’s and left their spectacular property for future generations to enjoy.)
This morning we wandered into downtown St. Paul where the brand new Hope Breakfast spot just opened. Yum! Located inside St. Paul’s oldest firehouse, the restaurant is serving amazing food and will pledge 3% of its annual profits to neighbors in need.

Healthy and “kittening” 🙂
What a change from the fragile kitten rescued from a sidewalk about 6 weeks ago:
-
It was a perfect day to visit the fair!
…not everybody looked happy though. I wonder why? LOL We visited the Democratic HQ; lots of smiles and activity.
-
Today’s focus: The Regal Fritillary, a large butterfly similar in size to the monarch.

One of the joys of family get-togethers is meeting new members of the clan. 🙂 Russell was part of a weekend gathering at Matthews Lake in Wisconsin, hitching a ride with his Mom and Dad, Tanya and Corey.

Groot is 3 and a half weeks old and weighs a pound. Yay Groot!

It’s Monday in the home office and Dylan is busy thinking about recycling…

Groot the kitten is growing! Thanks to the loving attention of my neighbors, he has doubled his weight 😻.
