Life has blessed me with so many simple gifts. I get to enjoy 4 seasons on the plains of North Dakota with my husband, favorite dog and a pasture full of horses.
In addition to raising quarter horses, we have a catering business (The Prairie Bistro) and a baking/confectionary enterprise (Sonja’s Old-Fashioned Delicacies) with which we get to pursue our love of food! And I manage my mother’s 40-year-old greenhouse/garden center.
How could a girl get to lucky! I get to watch foals grow, seeds become blooming plants and satisfy the sweet tooth of many. One of the reasons for writing this blog is to remind myself of all of these blessings and miracles when I am busy and tired (which is often!).
Wordpress suggests a blogger focus on just one area of interest. I never have been much good at decision making, so you’ll see photos and stories about our horses, food and plenty of flowers. I might complain about the weather or tell you something funny about my wonderful developmentally disabled brother or wax poetic about a road trip with my Knight in Shining Armor. Focus is not my strong suit!
This is awesome Sonja! You are soooo talented and full of wisdom. I am lucky to work for you and especially to call you my friend.
If you’re writing about horses (#1!) food, flowers, your brother & traveling with your sweetie–then you’re really writing about LIFE! There’s nothing wrong with that!
