Mother’s Day Brunch and a Clear Sky for Planting

Veblen, SD · May 10, 2026

Happy Sunday — it’s a beautiful morning for Mother’s Day brunch, and the clear skies are perfect for getting those last garden beds prepped.

📰 The Lead

As we hit the middle of May, the rhythm of the region shifts toward the fields. While many are gathering for Mother's Day meals today, the local tractors are also out in force across Marshall County. This year’s planting season has seen a steady pace thanks to the recent dry spell, a welcome change from the soggy starts of years past.

For those not in the cab of a tractor, today is about community connection. Local families are filling the pews and the dining rooms, celebrating the women who keep this town running. Whether you're heading to a neighboring town for a special buffet or hosting a backyard barbecue, the calm weather is a gift for everyone looking to spend time outdoors before the busy summer heat arrives.
