Spring?

While I realize that it's only January, and officially winter is not over yet, it seems that my lilacs have buds already.

Weather is calling for 8+ degrees on Monday . . . now that would certainly make it start to feel like spring!

Down by the Lake

Here in Winona, we have experienced little to no snow this winter, and it appears that Canada Geese somehow had the "heads up" on how our winter would be. Evidently, the geese have decided not to fly south for the winter.

This is obviously a sign of global warming. Is our winter almost over?

Olympic Torch Run through Winona

The Olympic torch made its way through frigid cold morning in Winona on December 20, 2010, en route for Grimsby through to Niagara Falls.

I certainly expected a larger crowd in support of the torch run. While I didn't travel into Grimsby that morning, I understand the torch received much more support, with many more people lining the streets there.
