Welcome, Spring.

Hello from bright, sunshine-y Duluth, Minnesota!
At this time last week I was wearing snow boots and drinking hot chocolate as I watched 2 inches of snow fall during the second week of MAY.
Today, it's nearly 80 degrees. It definitely made coming home from Las Vegas a bit more bearable.
Sure, air conditioning would be nice, but we can't have EVERYTHING we want, now can we? ;)
We thought a family outing down to the lakefront for a cold malt shake was in order this afternoon since Chris got home from work early, and it couldn't have been more beautiful.
Roses are in bloom, the lake breeze was refreshing, and a sweet treat hit the spot.
Now, If we could just bottle some of this warmth to use in December...

This was from our porch on May 9th.

We opted for sandals in lieu of snow boots for our date at the Malt Shoppe.

The Malt Shoppe is located along the lake front (Lake Superior).

The Lake Walk Rose garden is abloom!

I really, really don't mind living in Duluth on days like this.
