And, it's been raining. Also drizzling: and I wouldn't be surprised if it snowed and sleeted a bit. When water wasn't coming down from the sky, it just hung around as fog.
The band shell benches were the opposite of crowded. March 13, 2010.
There's still ice on Sauk Lake, sort of. I wouldn't want to try stepping out on it: it looked mushy near the public boat landing.
This is not the sort of thing you'd expect Explore Minnesota to mention. March 13, 2010.
You might expect Explore Minnesota, the Minnesota Tourism outfit, to try hushing up springtime in Minnesota: or at least ignore it. But at least one photo on their home page was a scene a little like that boat landing one. The sky was more colorful in theirs, though.
Anyway, I doubt we'll be needing shovels or snow blowers again, until maybe late Fall.
Last sight of snow blowers until next winter? March 13, 2010.
The alley between Main and Oak, north of Sinclair Lewis Avenue, is more than a place to set out garbage cans and take deliveries. Unger furniture and a few other places have a sort of second front door in back - and there's been a (very) discount store in a metal-roofed warehouse behind Pride of Main Street Dairy. I knew I forgot to do something yesterday: I didn't check to see if they were open.
This alley is a sort of informal street. Complete with those new old-fashioned street lights. March 13, 2010.
See if you can guess what famous author's famous book put Sauk Centre on the map. Take your time. March 13, 2010.
Food shelf sign at a Coborn's entrance. Good idea, I think. March 13, 2010.
That's all for today. I'll be back Wednesday, when there'll be more. Even if there isn't I'll write about something. Maybe the weather.
