A St. Paul man set off today for a 290 mile canoe trip from Mendota to Madeline Island on Lake Superior, up the St. Croix, down the Brule, and beyond.
 A haiku about fishing, fruit and spring garners me a t-shirt.  Photos of early spring flowers bring joy, longing and hope in the long days of winter.  Traipsing through various woods in the St. Croix River valley, alternating between scanning the forest for standing dead elm trees and studying the detritus of the forest floor, seeking morel mushrooms.  On a beautiful sunny spring day, we hear climate change author and activist Bill McKibben speak at church, and Brian, Lola and I head to Wisconsin for hiking, adventure and swimming. |
