Dusty and dry. Luckily SVDP is just a few blocks from a local brewery, which serves tacos.
At the thrift store I bought an old book:
Minnesota Farmers' Diaries: William R. Brown, 1845-46; Mitchell Y. Jackson, 1852-63, Saint Paul: Minnesota Historical Society, 1939.
These are the texts of actual diaries from what was the frontier era of the midwest.
I like reading about the coming of spring. One hundred & sixty years ago on March 21, 1858, Jackson writes:
I saw my first Robbin of the spring at a community garden on the sunny north side of the path.

after a week of Spring it is a little cool to day We commenced plowing on Wednesday 17 on Alexanders low prairie Find the ground full wet but stick to it. and he & I togather have plowed about 10 acres. On Friday we were greeted by our old friends the Robbins and larks mixed with Geese Ducks & Blackbirds The Snow birds mostly disappeared the day before. So that if we are not to have Spring early the birds are to be disappointed as well as ourselvesI would note that it's sunny and warm (40ยบ F), with heaps of snow all around. But the roads are dry, and I rode my new bike for the first time since I'd biked it home from the bike shop 10 days ago.
