WINTER GETTING TOO long for you?

Uh, huh. I hear you. I’m feeling winter weary, too, my spirits quelled by the recent 10-inch snowfall in Faribault.

I long for warmth and sunshine, for bursts of color and blooming flowers. Just give me spring, will you?

Well, readers, I quite unexpectedly walked into spring, in Red Wing, Minnesota, of all places. Who would have thought? Certainly not me.

But look, spring…

Tulips, among the first flowers of spring.

More tulips in bloom.

This colorful scene simply makes me happy, just like spring.

So many flowers in bloom.

The pretty pastels of Easter and of spring.

Pretty, pretty florals.

Exactly what I needed to see on a winter day: jolts of color and flowers in bloom.
