If you fell victim to my England blog posts or photo album, you'd know that I have a thing about grotesques - little creature statues on buildings. I have at least double that level of love of gargoyles - little creature statues on buildings that divert water. Like the lions and other creatures built into the Turnblad Mansion, which now houses the Swedish Institute.
After a partially clear and mostly cold and certainly windy Saturday (including a group 30 Days of Biking ride originating at Gold Medal Park), I found myself at the Swedish Institute with a long-time friend, to check out the fantastic Lars Lerin watercolor exhibit. (Do you live in the Twin Cities? Go. I implore you. I might even beseech you. I need a dictionary.)
I'm not sure why my crappy circulatory system thought biking there in 60-degree temps put me at risk of hypothermia and diverted my blood away from my digits, but I had to share an example photo of what I've been trying to sort out this winter with assorted warming devices.
All in all, it's been decent enough riding for early April, but I'm ready to ramp it up to prep for my bike rides.
