Hallelujah!

I must admit that we Minnesotians probably celebrate the coming of Spring more than anywhere in the US - and I understand why. After months of weather that caused you to fear for your life when you stepped outside your door, Spring comes. Now you can see AND feel the sun. How could you not be ecstatic?

Not that we didn't wonder if we had been forsaken. The calendar announced Spring, but the recent Snow Emergency didn't get the memo. This MUST be what the Hebrew children felt like when they were wondering out in the desert...

My new concern is that without my skullcap my bald spot will get sunburn. What a wonderful problem to have!!!

I live in Uptown and there was a pilgrimage to the Lakes over the weekend. I can say that the dog people equaled the number of power walkers at Lake Calhoun. Watch your step... The roller-bladers were back too. People watching had returned to my neighborhood!

The Lake was frozen except for the 15 feet or so around the edges, but that was immaterial. The joy of Creation was that we could be outside and not lose a body part. In celebration of this event, I'm going to do something that I never thought I would do - return my Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) lamps. They're not needed anymore.

Spring has Sprung, hallelujah!
