Our first microgreens harvest, just in time for Thanksgiving dinner.

Arrival of Winter
Winter arrived overnight. It’s a good day to cocoon.
Snowbird Planning
Spent much of the afternoon planning to be snowbirds for two months this winter. Unlike many Minnesota snowbirds (who head south in the winter) we don’t own a vacation condo or recreational vehicle. We prefer to rent.
A Day to Stay In
It was 6°F (-14°C) outside when I woke up. Looked out at ice accumulating on the Mississippi and decided I’m not going anywhere this morning. The “rock” sticking out of the ice is a slowly crumbling pier for the old 10th Avenue Bridge. The bridge was torn down for scrap in 1943.
Happy Birthday, MiL
Wished my mother-in-law Happy Birthday.
Morels for Our Anniversary
Bought morels for dinner tonight: it’s our 32nd anniversary.
Easter Dinner
Set the table for a family Easter dinner this evening. The silverware is stainless steel, manufactured in Sheffield, England. My mother-in-law cut up and hemmed an old table cloth to make the napkins.
Return of Winter
Winter returned as I walked home.
Brief Respite From Winter
Took my bicycle out for a spin before winter returns later this week.
Snowdrifts
Walked in heavy snow to my Wednesday gig. Snowdrifts were surprisingly deep under this overpass.
