Here in Minnesota we've had the coldest winter since 2000-2001. I recently went looking for some spring poetry and in one by Louis Jenkins, I really resonated to the first line: "This winter has lasted for 11 years." This winter has surely seemed to 11 years long, and yet we didn't get the amount of snow here that is normal. It was the cold, cold weather that got to us.
Today I saw one of the first sure signs of spring. I went out to do some errands about 1 PM, and found I couldn't cross Summit Avenue here in Saint Paul because some organization was having a run. I always call the first time we get blocked from driving across town because of a charity run on Summit Avenue as one of the first sure signs of spring.
