Warming Up
As the (hopefully) final snow melts and the nights (hopefully) linger ever so slightly above freezing temperatures, we get to enjoy longer lingering sunsets and splashes of familiar colors dappling the landscape once again.
Forsythia is one of the first, the yellow bursts greeting us warmly against the still dormant brown-gray of most other flora. Soon after more yellow appears through daffodils and tulips. Yellow is followed by purples, whites, and pinks of hyacinth and flowering fruits trees. Many more colors to mix in, most of all the unending varieties of greens - leaf, needle, stem, and so on. A dazzling spectrum.
As you enjoy the meandering warmth and color that spring brings, if you find yourself in Central Minnesota here are some of the events and activities you may want to check out in the area.
Check back to this blog for weekly updates on events as the spring and summer unfold!
