Winter Blues!

Winter Blues....
I don't know if it is just because I am getting older or what, but as the years go on, my tolerance for the length of winter decreases! Every year I find myself asking..."why do I choose to live in this state?". Is spring ever going to come? Why is it sooooo cold for soooo long? Obviously, it is because I live in MN and because it is WINTER! Don't get me wrong, MN is a great state for many things: schools, entertainment, pro sports, shopping (can't forget the MOA), lakes, and all around good people, however, the weather isn't necessarily our greatest virtue! (I guess this depends on what your ideal climate is...and as you can tell mine involves shorts, beaches, and umbrella drinks!).

So as we start February (and thanks to the groundhog we have another 6 weeks of winter!), I somehow remind myself that in a few short months..... when the snow begins to melt and the perfect day comes along (these days are far and few between as it has to be the perfect temperature: 75-80 degrees, sunny, no wind (rare), and not humid)....of why I live in this state!
