Life in a Northern Town

To say that weather is king in Duluth is an understatement. Winter here is long and cold. Most people living in regions with four seasons survive the long winters by anticipating and looking forward to spring and summer. Usually summers in Duluth are wonderful. Spring, is s-l-o-w to come and by June we are ready for summer to show its face.

This spring and (so far) summer has sucked! People are just sick and tired of the cold, wind and rain. I hate to admit it, but I did wear my winter hat one day this June.

I had self-proclaimed this the "Summer of Fun", which it most likely won't be weather-wise. I'm just throwing in the towel now and assuming it could be this way all summer. I'd envisioned daily trips to the beach. Sniff, sniff.

We did have a super warm and sunny day on Sunday. It was lovely. The kind of day that makes you want to cry. Clay, B and I spent part of the day gardening. The first video is of B watering the plants. The second video is of us goofing around and B trying to say grandma.
