Winter, 2009

There are many things one could say about the winter of 2008-2009 here in the Twin Cities. For one thing, it has been friggin' cold this year. (We're threatening to go subzero again one night this week, but weather predictions this time of year are just guesses.)

You can certainly say that we have had more than our share of hideous commute days. This evening being one of them. Struggling up highway 100 at 45 miles an hour is just becoming somewhat routine. (After waiting for the carapace of ice to melt off my car so I could set off.)

Tom bought some boxes to plant his dahlia bulbs in over the weekend. I have trouble seeing that far ahead, despite the birds singing in the trees on our morning walks now.
