Mason Neck hiking

So we decided to explore little beyond Alexandria and the old town. Hike in Mason Neck park. Trails were not long at least the once we took, and Niva was complaining most of the time saying (in exact her words “This ins not a hike, hiking should include hills”) I was happily clicking away my Cannon and capturing the beauty of the women next to me and the beauty of the mother nature.

Snow God just unloaded the first batch for this season

So much for the hope of getting another week without snow. Until last Friday night Minneapolis had a great fall weather. Mild, no snow but then sometime mid night that white slushy thing started to fall from the sky. Looks like snow god decided that Minnesotans got enough nice weather and I am going to show that I still exist and you can’t do nothing about it. I love Minneapolis, I love Gopher State, I love my alma-mater but I can’t wait to get to a place where I get less snow and much longer fall. I had my share in Minneapolis and its time to spread my wings somewhere else and build a nest.

Warm November

Blame it on global warming but I ll take this warm weather we are having in any given day. As we all know, when it comes November, Minneapolis is not known for warm, sunny weather. Normally by this time we get ready to bundle up before getting out from house. Also, its not unusual to see couple of inches of snow on the ground. But, its almost mid November, and I still can drive my car with windows rolled down. Simply unbelievable. So far we had July weather in June, June weather in July, October weather in November and November weather in October.

We have so confused mother nature and she can’t figure out which month should get its respective weather. Hopefully she will stay in this state of mind till next spring.
