It has warmed up a little here this week. I haven't been able to enjoy most of it (oh, school), but I did get some time outdoors yesterday afternoon. Wednesday is my hell day (class 8 am to 9 pm with only 3 hours of break in there and 5 hours of teaching). So, today, I am just dreaming about summer. It does make it hard to pay attention . . .
This is Matt and me at the Upper Falls (or middle falls? not the lower) at Gooseberry Falls State Park. We went there for a 4th of July vacation in 2009.
We also went there a few weeks ago on a weekend trip to the North Shore (of Lake Superior), and here's a picture of the Lower Falls.
Both beautiful, but right now, the summer picture seems just right. I'm a little sad to lose the snow (and fun cross-country skiing, and wearing cute winter sweaters) . . . but I'd like to be able to walk outside without multiple layers. And I am definitely not a fan of the ice that will surely be on the sidewalks from now until the thaw is complete.
