Cold nights have worked their frosty magic on these ‘Golden Hornet’ crab apples, turning each one a different shade of gold, russet and dark plum. A little of nature’s alchemy, and suddenly the tree is decorated with small painted Christmas baubles!

I grew up in a mobile home park and I’m the daughter of a hardworking single mom. I know what it’s like to struggle. That’s why I’m running for the U.S. Senate because I’ll never stop standing up for Minnesotans.

“Long summer days are my desire:
Red suns, that drop as globes of fire
Behind the sloped fields white with weed:
Warm winds, that waft the wandering seed
With silvery plume, now low, now higher… “
