This morning Susie and I ran up to the Dubuque Farmers Market and then down to the National River Museum for the Ding Darling celebration .
Ding was awarded two Pulitzer Prizes for his editorial cartoons, and President Roosevelt appointed him to what would ultimately become the US Fish & Wildlife Service, which today continues to sport the original National Wildlife Refuge "blue goose" logo designed by him.
Aside from many conservation efforts enacted within the governmental system as a politician, another result of his leadership and vision was the creation of the Federal Duck Stamp program.
When we got back Maxine and I went down to the Sugar Bush to pick some black raspberries.
I just about dropped the whole batch of berries when I flushed a hen turkey off of her clutch of eggs.
My hope is that
More Berries = More Tarts!
