As I am learning to use this service and writing more from my phone I am noticing that I have received these little requests to extend these moments. I wonder if I would’ve had as much to say at the moment as I do now. Despite growing up in the desert, I’ve turned into quite the fan of winter. I like that winter forces us to slow down and met out our time more carefully. You certainly do not take the sun for granted and I cannot tell you the overwhelming joy one feels as spring comes alive around here. All the snow makes for a very green spring and summer. The trees of Minnesota are glorious. This snapshot was of a type of juniper berry. Though not the kind used to make gin, disappointingly.
