I went outside this morning at 8 AM and I could hear the loons calling in the distance as a cold, north wind was bashing its way through the woods 20 feet outside our door. I let Delilah out ahead of me as I do every morning when walking to the office and she was in 3 inches of drifted snow! It's April 22, 2015 and while this is hardly unusual for northeastern Minnesota, I still find it difficult to write poetically about wind blowing snow sideways less than a month away from fishing opener. I'm also having a hard time with those computer models that show that we should be watching palm trees grow since this, with the exception of about four years ago, seems to happen every year for as long as I can remember. Hence the reason we still haven't take the plow off of the truck.
Still ready to go.

Meanwhile, the loons, who spend their winters in Florida, are back wondering why they came home so early. C'mon, warm weather! We all want winter to leave!
