February 28th…“TELL ABOUT OTHER PETS YOU HAD ON YOUR FARM.”

#81=Candi & Elliott with Cheeta, Summer '58
“Cheetah” the sheep is next to sister Candi, while “Jack” the dog is lazy on the ground.  Elliott is squinting towards the camera with our 1952 Chevy in the background.

POEM – “The Pet Called Puddles” by N. Elliott Noorlun

There was “Cheetah” the sheep, And “Angel” the cow,

But then came the pet, That went bow wow.

“Puddles”, Our only indoor pet,

For to get his name, It was easy to bet.

Cause every time, We turned around,

His bladder would burst, And yes, we found,

PUDDLES, you guessed it, T’was our yellow mess,

So THAT was his name, I now confess!!  😉

I may be only one oat seed in a field of millions, yet I have a story to share of beginnings on our beloved farm in southern Minnesota and beyond to life as I've seen it to this point. Famous? No. Gifted? Unlikely. Yet, I want to leave a legacy to my children and grandchildren of who this gentle Norwegian man was. My happy times, sad times, successes and failures. Someday, those who are tiny now, will have this volume to come to and get to know this Norwegian Farmer's Son.
