Minnesota Nice - Even in January

One of my favorite things about our neighborhood are the people you meet.  I don't think I have ever gone for a walk around the block without someone waving or stopping to talk.  I realized as I was walking today how few people I actually know their name.  I think I will work on that this year.  Today I met a man named Dave, I've actually talked to his wife before but don't recall knowing his name.  I waved at Bonnie who offered me some hot coffee - I would have taken her up on it had I not already consumed 2 cups of coffee.  Winter is a hard time to keep up with people, we tend to stay warm in our homes wishing for spring.  It's amazing how warm you can feel with a smile from a neighbor.

It's not too bad out today.  Ellie and I bundled up for an invigorating walk through the neighborhood. There was a little bit of snow overnight which made it quite beautiful.

Warm "Good Morning" without stopping progress.

Now this man knows how to dress for Minnesota!  

If you are looking for a place to meet people and enjoy the outdoors we have a nice skating rink near the park just waiting for the skaters to arrive.


Thanks for joining us on our photo journey of the neighborhood - until next time!
