Spring is a State of Mind



Our change of seasons is long and slow this year, and even those who relish snow sports are weary of the longest winter in recent history. Global warming seems to have nothing on us this spring. We have been snow-free for barely a week, and the tight buds on our trees are just waiting for a good week of 50+ degrees and sunshine.

What to do when you crave outdoor colors other than gray, brown, and white? Take a trip to the Como Park Conservatory, where it is always green, with flowers blooming, and refreshingly warm. A visit from brother Edgar during last weekend's wintry mix was just in time for a visit to Como Park Conservatory with Mom.
