I have been trying to get a good photo of the new u-shaped bench built by the fire place. I can’t get right angle. It is a little bright being new wood but next year I will stain it to match the fire place. So for now it is ready for use.

One of my favorite blooms at the Haven, a Rose Mallow called Valentine’s Crush. The red is vibrant. Waiting on pink.

Upon cleaning the east side bathroom today, I discovered something I had previously overlooked. The towel bar holders, if they land on the grout in the tile, were split in half to match. My father-in-law was all about detail; he installed all the tile in 1955. He also kept extra tiles in the tunnel, which we were able to use to repair tiles and add a row of tile at the ceiling. The color pink and baby blue tiled bathrooms were a staple in homes from the late 1940s to the early 1960s. The soft colors were popularized by First Lady Mamie Eisenhower, who loved the soft shade pink so much that pink tiles were called Mamie pink. The house always has a surprise for me around ever corner.❤️

It's raining. The rear of the house with apple tree and the new green plants. So lovely.

I have been to four. The first on the list gets added to my Minnesota travel list. More plans.

Minnesota is full of hidden gems and wonderful surprises—and many of them are hiding in plain sight. Check out these five places that even native Minnesotans may overlook.
