breathe in, breathe out (Aug 09)



Finally, it's springsummer and we can all go to our favorite outdoor bar decks, order summer drinks, listen to the river, and watch the town come alive as everyone shakes off their collective cabin fever. After a week of dreary, cold rain, yesterday finally brought bright sun and blue skies. No better kind of day for a post-work happy hour that turned into squeezing every ounce of sun from the Tavern deck.

When we have visitors to our little town, these outdoor drinks are a necessity, as it was last August during a visit from my friend Peter, pictured above. There's a sort of serenity that comes with sharing outdoor air together. Maybe this is why summer is so addicting for everyone... and why Minnesotans love it so much. After months of toiling in negative degrees, beautiful days like these make us forget the challenge of what can seem like endless winter.

That said, I'm heading out to enjoy it.
