Photos from walking up north at my parents' place on a beautiful sunny day. The birds in the open water are Trumpeter Swans.

Here's my dad driving his Bobcat. He's hauling a load of nice oak that he and my sister split to the woodpile!

Lunch with Mom and Dad at Douglas Lodge, in Itasca State Park, the headwaters of the Mississippi. (We had walleye and wild rice, naturally!) The lady's slipper is Minnesota's state flower.

The Shaun Johnson Big Band Experience got rained out in Menahga, MN, so we were relocated from the lakeside to the high school gymnasium. Not ideal. But my mom and dad and I still had a lovely 4th of July!

While visiting my parents "up north," my cat, Felix, explored the dumbwaiter used to haul the wood from downstairs to the living room. Felix can get all the way to the attic via the dumb waiter. Hurray for Felix, I guess?

Meanwhile, in Minnesota... (Okay, this was last week and at my parents' home, which is four hours north of the Twin Cities. STILL, we are flying back from Mexico today, and I know the contrast will be bracing!

I love this place. I love the movement across northern Minnesota. It’s the most at peace I think I’ve ever been when I’m in this area.

It was still very cold on my walk today (-7 with -12 windchill) but I walked my full loop and my electric mittens kept me warm. I even took one mitten off long enough to snap this milkweed pod in the wind.

There is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing choices! Today was a beautiful sunny day at -7 with a -20 windchill. (But windchill is just a thing we made up to make ourselves sound tougher!)
