Perfect Minnesota Day
Let's just start this off by saying that there really isn't one particular sort of perfect Minnesota day. When you're a Minnesotan, you learn to enjoy the changeability of the weather and you stock up on different kinds of perfect days. Today is perfect because the sun is gazing kindly down upon us from a pale blue sky, the earth is warming and smells wet, the temperature is forecast to reach 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and there are no bugs - and, by bugs, I mean mosquitos. Only the barest traces of snow remain. The snowboard hill is no more than a Nike swoosh on the brown grass. The trees aren't budding yet, but it doesn't matter because it's warm enough to be outside and active. Ahhh! It's basking weather.
