Part of embracing winter means that you have to get out in the cold and live. It so goes against everything that I love. Heat, warmth, shorts and tee shirts… The Winter Carnival did its best to drag this grizzled bear out of his cave. The flower show doesn’t count because its inside but I did wander around a bit on Saturday and Sunday checking out the snow sculptures. Starting with a either a large pile or a block of snow, these artists use saws and garden tools to create amazing pieces that have a 1 week life span. At the conclusion of the carnival, all these will be knocked down for safety purposes but for the next 6 days, you can go to the Minnesota State Fairgrounds and check them out or you can stay toasty warm and go here.
When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will know peace. —Jimi Hendrix
