Posted: February 27, 2011 Filed under: Lotsa Lhasa Info Leave a commentThe article printed in House and Garden some years ago began “A beautifully restored Newport farm is the site for a bold program to protect and preserve rare and endangered breeds of farm animals. ”
The article is about Swiss Village Farm. From the website, “Rare breeds of livestock carry valuable and irreplaceable traits such as innate disease resistance, heat tolerance, parasite resistance and mothering ability qualities which may be needed at some time in the future. It is conceivable that a current popular breed may become jeopardized due to a shift in the factors that let to its predominant role, such as industry demand or infectious disease.”

Posted: February 26, 2011 Filed under: Art and Photography Leave a commentJulie’s probably tired of the artsy blog entries. 🙂 This past October Rick and I spent nearly a week in my hometown, Norfolk, NE. We were suppose to be on a train ride with my sister Lori and her husband Ron. Alas, alack, a broken nose changed that. Instead of heading west to ride the Durango-Silverton train, we headed east. Whenever we’re in Norfolk Rick and I make sure to visit the Norfolk Arts Center. The current exhibit has never failed to delight us. This time the photographs of Nancy Warner were featured. From her website, ” Nancy Warner is a fine-art and portrait photographer with a large, natural-light studio in downtown San Francisco. Her Going Back exhibit will appear in several eastern Nebraska venues through 2010.”
That was the exhibit we saw – Going Back: Midwestern Farm Places. The images were beautiful and haunting.
