The thaw continues

Posted by Shek on March 23rd, 2008 
I am writing on a snowy Easter morning. These photos were taken last Sunday when it was clear that Minnehaha Creek was thawing. The fresh coats of wet snow that fell during the last week have not stopped the melting. Spring is coming!
Driving

My insurance company may not approve of these pictures, but so much of my time is spent behind a wheel that moments of inspiration should not be passed up just because I’m driving.
Signs of spring
Posted by Shek on March 8th, 2008 
Phyllis Kahn brought in hyacinths for her staff (the blooms on mine are resting on my staghorn fern) and this morning I noticed that my desert rose is blooming. After a cold winter, small signs of spring are wonderful.
Maxwells is gone.
Posted by Shek on March 8th, 2008
When I started attending the University of Minnesota there was a wasteland between the university and downtown. Along Washington Avenue, east of 35-W, there were blocks of parking lots. Now there are condos, the Guthrie Theater, a center for the arts, restaurants, and a new park. Back in 1993 there was only Maxwells. On February 20th, with sub-zero temperatures, it went up in smoke. Ed Kohler was there.
