Spring is Springing!

It has to be!

The snow piles are shrinking (I think we’re down to 3 1/2 feet now)!

I think we even hit 35 degrees today!

You can almost see my vegetable garden again…

Tear off those North Face down-filled coats, breathe in that fresh air, and hang on Minnesotan’s…it’s almost here! Read more
