What a spectacular late summer and fall. We’ve had quite a bit of heat, some of our flowers started to bloom again, but the fall extended into November and it’s been pleasant.

This year, the wind did not rip off the fall leaves immediately too! I think, for the 20 years I’ve been in Minnesota, this is the best fall so far.

Probably the craziest thing was that we ended up going to the Minneapolis “River Rats” which is a very large group of individuals who do trick water skiing. It was wild to see. The River Rats have been doing their thing for a very long time and this was the first year we went to it – it was so fun to watch and everyone loved it.

Otherwise, we’re super appreciative of global climate change and the great weather we’ve been having here in Minnesota!
