Spring finally *is* here! The winds have blown
the blossom petals off the the tree limbs.
The petals stick to the bottom of my BF.
Has this happened to you?

    Those of us in the northern climes are happy to just see dead grass again.

    I did get to go out on my first brief bf hike of the season this weekend, and it was wonderful! I've missed the earth beneath my feet so much.

      I was in Waseca, Minnesota in January a few years
      ago, so I do have some idea what you must
      experience. Has all the snow finally melted yet?

        You weren't that far from me! Waseca is a beautiful town. The snow is mostly melted, though piles are still visible here and there on the north sides of the ditches and yards, shelterbelts, etc.

        A few years ago, a couple friends of ours near Marshall (SW MN) took a photo of themselves standing next to a pile of snow that was still in their shelterbelt on July 4.

          My wife is a native of Waseca, and grew up in
          nearby Waterville.

            We often drive through there via 14 on our way to visit family back in SD. Some of the houses going through there are gorgeous! (Not to mention the lake.)

            If you get by that way again, drop me a line and I'll meet you in Owatonna or something.

              My wife's cousin lives in Owatonna! :-)
              Small world. Don't get to Minnesota that
              often. But I'll remember to look you up
              should I be out your way. My cousin lives
              in Des Moines (actually, Urbandale), Iowa. :-)
              I see him when he comes out to visit his
              Dad in San Francisco! :-)
