Twenty Days Until Spring

Oh, my goodness, but it's been a long February.

I'm sure more than one record has been broken as far as snow fall is concerned, but for the first time, maybe ever, major roads in southeast Minnesota were shut down for two days because of the blizzard conditions, ice, wind, and drifting snow. The National Guard had to rescue hundreds of stranded people! We were going to drive down to Winona to visit Nick this past Sunday but had to postpone until Tuesday as the roads were still closed. And then when we did drive, the roads were a little scary.

I'm so tired of winter.

However, I've been celebrating the bright sun when it's out. I've been frying fish, making big pots of soup, and experimenting with making jelly. Bruce has been writing songs and singing them at Open Mic nights. Last night we drove to south Minneapolis for one, which took quite a bit of energy to go to because it was so cold and dark, and in the city. Are we getting old? 😉 But then a guy sang a couple of old songs the MONKEES did a long time ago, and that was exciting!

We're planning a little road trip to Albuquerque soon to see Jake, and THAT is exciting, too.

Only twenty days until Spring! Can we make it? You bettcha. 😜
