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: Mud madness 
Between the children and the dogs, it’s pretty much impossible to keep the mud at bay, no matter how hard I may try. Mud season commenced at our house about a week ago and I expect to be under heavy fire for at least the next six weeks. After that, there will be occasional bouts when it rains, but, overall, I expect to claim victory.

ANN BAILEY: ‘Itching to march forward, weather or not’
According to an old adage, if March comes in like a lamb, it’s supposed to go out like a lion. If that’s true, we’re in for a tough finish. Not only was the weather on the first day of the month mild, but the entire first week has been pretty gentle to us.

ANN BAILEY: Not so fast
I used to be surprised when retailers would start selling their Christmas decorations the day after Halloween. I was offended that they were rushing the season and as a result, forgetting about Thanksgiving.

ANN BAILEY: Navigating winter roads isn’t for the faint of heart
That said, I wish there was a happy medium between bare fields and snow that reaches way over the top of my snow boots. It’s not that I go trudging through the fields and the snow gets in the way of my travels, it’s that the snow from the fields ends up on the road and makes it difficult to see them.

ANN BAILEY: Time and healing take the pain out of recalling old injuries
Given my history of injuries, it may seem surprising that I’ve never broken a bone. Though, I’ve fallen out of trees and off of horses, jumped out of haymows and off of roofs, played football with my brothers and been in a few car accidents, my bones have remained in one piece.
That’s one record I hope never to break.

ANN BAILEY: When it comes to pets, this household doesn’t discriminate
I can’t imagine a farm without animals. On the farm where I grew up, we had cows, horses, dogs and cats and I helped take care of all of them. Some of my best memories of the farm are of times riding horseback with my bother and sister, midnight calving checks with my dad and my mom and I working in the garden accompanied by our family dog and a couple of cats.

ANN BAILEY: The key to finding a missing car key is to check all your pockets
One of my theories is that the key to not misplacing or losing things is organization. If there’s a place for everything and everything is in its place, time won’t be wasted hunting for lost items.

ANN BAILEY: New Year’s resolutions are an opportunity to start all over — again
It’s hard to believe it’s 2010. It’s likely to take me until next month to stop writing 2009 on my checks. Hopefully, I won’t have broken any New Year’s resolutions by then.

ANN BAILEY: Digging out from a very white Christmas
When it comes to winter, there’s snow fun and there’s no fun. I got to experience both, thanks to the whopper storm that hit over the Christmas holiday.

ANN BAILEY: With hungry animals and children to attend to, sleeping in is only a dream
I think I could pretty easily be a bear. Eating a bunch of food in the fall, then sleeping away much of the winter sounds like a pretty good deal.

ANN BAILEY: ‘Santa Buddies’ co-star proves to be a girl’s best friend
Many of the good times have involved Rosebud: when Ellen met her, when we surprised Ellen with her after we returned home from the movie production set, and, recently when our family watched “Santa Buddies” for the first time. Seeing Rosebud on the screen as a cute Air Buddies puppy, then looking over at Ellen lovingly petting the dog cuddled next to her on the sofa seemed kind of like a dream that was too good to be true.

ANN BAILEY: November redeemed itself this year
November is one of my least favorite months. The cold, dreary weather that usually prevails during November dampens my spirits. But the weather isn’t my only complaint about November. The landscape also is dull and I can derive little pleasure from viewing it on my daily commute. Browns and grays dominate the drab landscape and save for dodging a deer, now and then, there’s little to help keep me awake during the drive.

ANN BAILEY: Family, horses, dogs and cats make me thrice blessed fourfold
According to superstition, bad things come in threes. In my family, though, three seems to be a lucky number. We have four sets of threes that we consider to be good fortune and that enriches our lives.

ANN BAILEY: Chemotherapy treatment is a rigorous road to travel
Before my 6-year-old daughter, Ellen, was diagnosed with leukemia I was in the dark about a lot of things connected with cancer.
Though I had relatives and close friends with various types of the disease, I didn’t really understand what chemotherapy and radiation were, or how they are administered. During the past year and a half I’ve received a crash course in chemotherapy.

ANN BAILEY: Bring back civil discourse, accountability
I have little patience for people who say that they write nasty comments because everyone else does and that there’s no place for civil discourse. Just because other people sink to the level of personal attacks and name calling, doesn’t mean they have to do it, too.
