I think we've turned the corner, weatherwise. Winter be gone! And if you know anything about Minnesota, you know this is a major topic of conversation. A major topic of our mental well being. And only a Minnesotan would appreciate this: Only 4 more months until the State Fair.
ugh.
4 Months? The State Fair marks the end of summer. 4 months? It's not even begun!
We had nice weather this weekend and this week is looking good too. This past Saturday we took a walk in our neighborhood. Mama just has to remember to appreciate what we DO have and stop being so negative (it would be nice to be in a quieter neighborhood...it would be nice to be SOMEWHERE else). Appreciate what you do have. Often easier said than done.
At any rate on our family walk we talked about all the walks we could take this summer. Pushing the stroller. Stopping to enjoy the sights. Daddy pointing out the turtles and the eagles and whatever else he notices. Mom doesn't notice these things. Someday we'll figure out what she notices...It isn't aminals (much to dad's chagrin when he points out a falcon or a _______ - mama's brain shuts off as if he's talking about car repair or science). Okay, mama's tired right now but feeling woefully delinquent on blogging.
Our goal is to get out and explore the Twin Cities. There's lots and lots of paths out there for us to explore. We have cars, we can drive there. It always seemed kind of odd to drive somewhere to walk, or to bike, but hey, I don't care. And we can explore neighborhoods that we might someday want to move to. Someday. In the meantime we'll appreciate our humble abode.
So thanks_for our humble abode, walking paths and our cars.
