Last night, Dan and I went to the neighborhood theater to see the documentary his meteorologist/climatologist friend made about winter, via a kickstarter campaign. It was a good movie, which made me simultaneously look forward to and dread this next winter.
The movie calls winter Minnesota's most iconic season. I guess that's true, but this fall has been Minnesota's nicest fall in recent memory, even if it isn't what we are known for.
This weekend also involved a trip with one half of my parents to an orchard with my nephews, a visit to a new nature park with a natural, kids play area (sticks for forts, chalk for boulders, etc.) where some cool basket things hung from the trees, and the longest bike ride I've gone on in a month (sad, but true).
Today's fun ride was planned by Matt and involved a mostly-trailed route from Hopkins to St. Boni along the north side of Lake Minnetonka, through Carver Park, and along the south side of the lake back to Hopkins.
I overdid it a bit at dinner, eating way more, way more quickly, than called for by my pressing hunger. So now I laugh as Piper plays with Millie, who we are dog sitting, while I'm multitasking by. digesting the meal and digesting the weekend.
