You know it's spring in Minnesota when.....

1) the entire city of Minneapolis tries to fit on the footpath around Lake Calhoun.
2) the sun isn't the only thing that's blinding (i.e. winter tans).
3) you are warm, and it's not due to multiple layers of wool.
4) walking on water becomes a miracle again, not an everyday event.
5) the parkinglot mountains of snow are only 10 feet tall (instead of 15).

Welcome...Bryant

So it begins.

I've always wanted a blog, but I've wanted it to be impressive out of the gate. My lofty aspirations would have led to nothing. So here's a start. With reckless abandonment (big words help me feel cooler):

Another finally. Winter is over. Well, fingers crossed anyway. 4 days of sun and warmth are encouraging and refreshing. And while the last four days have been nice, today was our first chance to get out and make the most of it. So we did, with our newest friend: Bryant. Nick and Shannon got a puppy, and he's fun. Since I'm not a dog person, I don't know what kind he is. But pictures will follow.
