Pumped up the tires, lubed the chain, and reacquainted myself with a favorite urban route. Avoided puddles and potholes and piles of snow. With temperatures climbing towards 60° it felt good to be out.

Cycling Beside Ice
A cool breeze blew off Bde Maka Ska, creating a significant temperature drop as we cycled by. Today is the latest I have seen ice on this lake.
The Language of Springtime
Wild spring onions, nettles, fiddlehead ferns, morels, spruce tips, ramps, the language of springtime. Tonight I’ll make morel risotto.
Ice Was Gone
The wind whipped up Lake of the Isles, ice was gone, as I ran.
Getting Ready for Planting
Rain stopped, sun shone, I shot out into yard to replace soil in a wall planter for tomatoes. It’s too soon to plant.
Collecting Annuals
Today we loaded up with annuals. It’s too soon/cold to plant outside, but we can prepare pots and baskets inside.
The Sun Was Warm
Lake Calhoun today. Walked lakes Harriet, Calhoun, and Isles. Everyone was so happy to be out in the warm sun.
