I Still Love Minnesota

Semi in the ditch near Menomonie
We left a little later this morning, closer to 8:30. We crossed into Wisconsin not long after leaving Rockford. Definitely winter weather, and were so glad we'd put on our jeans this morning.

Traffic was much lighter than it's been since we arrived in the south a month ago. It was, however, sobering, to see two trucks with trailers and a semi in the ditch, all within a couple of miles of each other. The winds were very strong and snow had been falling on already slick roads.

We made good time and were at the post office about 1:30 to pick up a huge bucket of mail. We were surprised not to find five feet of snow in the yard. Spring may not quite be here but winter has certainly lost its hold.

Our little cat, Minou, hasn't left us since we walked in the door. Chris came over after work and, well, it almost seems as though we were never gone.

Glad to be home!
