It is an early spring in Minnesota. It is electric and magic.
The buds on the trees are bursting the grasses are passing the standing brown stalks of last fall.
The ice is long gone and the geese are setting up shop on shorelines. The songbirds are singing loud and long and flitting about declaring territories.
The fruit trees are in flower and each have a strong fragrant aura all their own.
The bees are out.
But today a cold front is approaching and has been dumping heavy wet snow over half the state.
Since I have been alive I have heard of the old wise folks saying...
"do not plant you're tomatoes yet, nor your flowers unless you are ready to cover them; for it may be pleasant and shirtsleeve warm today, the winter is not quite through with Minnesota yet."
And so it is in early May in Minnesota. Fantastic.
Get the boats ready!!
