Signs of Summer

Yesterday I posted some real snow pictures from last winter since I have not been able to get out on the snowshoes this year. That old PV (Polar Vortex) cold was too much when there was enough snow. We are now almost at the end of January and winter is getting to its overflow point. That means it's time to look for signs of summer.

Well, actually they are signs from summer to help us keep our levels of hope high.

That one above- Custer State Park in South Dakota, a wonderful summer road trip eight years ago this summer. You didn't have to tell me twice.

This one is from the Fourth of July-
the quintessential summer holiday. 

 Bicycling days along the Root River in Lanesboro. While coffee may be year-round, I don't get to this place when it's not warm.

All those lakes in Minneapolis and the Grand Rounds of biking (and other activity) trails.

No comment. But it does bring thoughts of 

open car windows and

music blaring from each.

Ah, yes, but probably the best sign of summer is 

out at the old ballgame!

In case you are wondering, it is 72 days until the Twins Home Opener on April 13. Tickets went on sale a week ago.
