Visiting A Central Minnesota Farm by Layne Kennedy

My friend and amazing photographer Layne Kennedy put together this short video of life on a Central Minnesota Farm. I love how he captures it all so well. I’ve been lucky enough to take classes with Layne and his talent is amazing.

I had the fortunate opportunity to visit a neighbor’s family farm several times this summer and document some of the activities there. Really, it was just done for fun. This was not meant as a documentary, but something for the family to share life on the farm with extended family. The little things like harvesting sweet corn to donate to the local church, protecting lands for wildlife habitat and wildflowers, gathering everyone for meals during a Vikings game, and the traditions of deer hunting and gathering of friends all part of farm life here.

It is a wonderful video.

Lucky enjoys snow so much. When it is snowing she wants to be outside all the time. She eats mouthfuls of snow whenever she can. She seems completely at home in the snow. ❄️

Famous Fox Dens Multichain

I’m so impressed with Famous Fox Federation! Today they announced that you can associate your Ethereum address with your Fox Profile on Solana.

I went to my profile, signed in as thingelstad.sol with Phantom, and then connected to thingelstad.eth with MetaMask! 🤯

Now when I look at Foxesburg Geluksdal #GEL384 my Foxes are there (staked of course), all my Solana Angry Bunny Club, and my Ethereum wallet with my Divine, ENS domains, and even a POAP I migrated to Mainnet from xDai!

Angry Bunny Club Jigsaw Puzzle

We make a custom jigsaw puzzle each Christmas. This year I also took my collection of Angry Bunny Club NFT’s and created a custom puzzle from it. I created a collage of the various images and ordered both of the puzzles.

I love how it came out! The Bunny images are all 3,000 x 3,000 pixels so there was plenty of resolution to work with. I wasn’t sure how difficult the puzzle would be but it turned out relatively quick to solve. All four of us did it together and finished in about 90 minutes.

I decided to make this puzzle with no specific up or down. This was partially due to the design of the Bunnies, which are all clipped at the chest. By having them go all the way around I could more easily align them all on the outer edge of the puzzle, and then have some in the middle behind the bigger ones.

This puzzle features 18 Angry Bunny Club NFTs, all are ones I hold in my wallet right now. The bunnies included are, in ascending order by ID:

Bunny #338, Bunny #393, Bunny #501, Bunny #519, Bunny #1308, Bunny #1626, Bunny #1688, Bunny #2076, Bunny #2465, Bunny #3069, Bunny #3337, Bunny #3678, Bunny #3680, Bunny #4598, Bunny #4801, Bunny #4926, Bunny #5011, and Bunny #5128.

I’m pretty sure this is the world’s first Angry Bunny Club jigsaw puzzle. 🤩

Mazie picked Stargirl for us to watch tonight. It was a great story, well told, and touching. Great family movie. 🍿
