It's a rite of spring at our farm to have visiits from swans. The fields that surround our farmstead usually have ponds on them and the swans stop for a few days or even weeks...

THE DULLUM FILE On Camera
Kudos to the Grand Forks Herald's Ann Bailey for her piece on being camera shy in a media world. The last couple of sentences of it read as follows. "My experiences during the past y...

ANN BAILEY: From one outdoor cat to four indoor cats 
The first fall we lived on the farm, we often saw a stray sneaking through the woods behind our house. We put food out at the edge of the woods each night, and, after several weeks, we could stand near her while she was eating.

ANN BAILEY: Big gatherings a tradition for 100 years
Newspaper reports, which my brothers have found while researching family history, chronicle the times my great-grandparents hosted formal events such as county agricultural tours led by area crops and livestock experts, and impromptu late night parties in which the rugs were rolled up and family and friends danced until the wee hours of the morning.

ANN BAILEY: Saying goodbye to old friends
By far the most challenging part of horse ownership is saying goodbye to the horses when they die. Over the years, my family and I have buried eight horses. All of them lived well into the 20s and beyond, which I think makes it harder, not easier to lose them.

ANN BAILEY: "Mom, I’ll remember this day when I’m 30"
For much of my life, autumn was near the bottom of the list. It probably really wasn’t so much that I minded fall, it was more that it was more that I dreaded what came after it. I think it was a combination of moving back to the farm and a resolve to live life one day at a time that changed the way I feel about fall.

ANN BAILEY: This farm has a garden spot
Surrounded by trees on three sides and located on the south side of our farmstead, in warm summers our garden spot is like a greenhouse. While working in it on summer days is a hot, sweaty job, the rewards we reap later make it well worth it.

ANN BAILEY: Six Flags visit brings back memories
When I was a girl, every summer a carnival came to my hometown of Larimore, N.D. Many of the rides were ones that twirled, and it didn’t take me long to figure out that I couldn’t stomach them.

ANN BAILEY: Necessity is the impetus to get the to-do list done
Amidst the pictures and magnets on the front of our fridge is a to-do list. Writing down jobs, I want to get done helps me be organized.
The fact that the jobs are on the list, however, doesn’t guarantee that they will get done anytime soon.

ANN BAILEY: Hay, that was a hot day
As a girl growing up on the farm, I never had to worry about buying the hay that I fed my horse. My dad baled hay for our cattle and made sure he saved the cream of the crop for Socks and his pals, Ginger, Beauty, Gypsy and Socks, which belonged to my dad, brother and sister.

ANN BAILEY: Wet or dry, weeding is hard work
After decades of too much rain, our fields and gardens are suffering from lack of it. The heat and drought did in the radishes, and the pumpkins, squash, cucumbers and melons in our garden are drooping. But wet or dry, one thing is certain: The weeds will thrive.

ANN BAILEY: Farm home full of character, but not always cool
Most days, I wouldn’t trade our 101-year-old house for a new one. The history, character and workmanship would be difficult, if not impossible, to duplicate and it holds many irreplaceable memories.

ANN BAILEY: Strawberries straight from the garden to mouth
When it comes to strawberries, there’s nothing like fresh-picked. The commercial ones may be gigantic in size, but most of the ones I’ve eaten don’t come close to the garden-grown ones in the taste category.
