After weeks of record high temps and no snow on the ground for a month, winter returned to #Minnesnowta. May as well bring back some other #Minnesota memories with #HuskerDu#MaryTylerMoore.
Reports that the city of #Minneapolis has posted an #eviction notice of an encampment of #unhoused people at 5th Ave & 24th St S for Wednesday, tomorrow, during a continued #blizzard and sub-freezing temperatures, forecast high of 27°F and low of 14°F, down to 8°F within 24 hours of planned encampment #destruction.
Enough promised documentation and defense may help deter or slow down #Minneapolis' rate of destruction of the only homes #houseless people here have. No #evictions would ever happen if #housing were always provided, but even a week's reprieve makes a big difference in this weather. Please spread the word in #Minnesota#MNastodon and stop Frey's murderous #police led approach to #homelessness
I realized today that there's been a dark and moody theme running through my photography since the start of the pandemic. It isn't all my work, but it has been a constant addition and is different than what I did before.
Some lovely snow cover on March 24th and 25th. The ground was bare and dry most of the winter season. Southern Minnesota had the hottest winter on record. So many locations experienced the same problem. Climate change is busy. #minnesota, #ClimateDiary, #nodig, #garlic.
This is the Red River of the North that divides #NorthDakota and #Minnesota, seen from Edgewood park today in #Fargo. We took advantage of todays snow storm to finally strap on the snowshoes. This record warm #winter hasn't provided plentiful opportunities for outdoor fun. But today was a good time.
This little guy has been hiding on our deck all night. It's been snowing all night and normally they hang out under the deck but today they seemed to prefer this spot.
Sorry for the blurry photo but it's the best I could do. If I tried to move the blinds I might spook them. 😮
The mysterious cubes are part of the noon meal. They were fermented lentil broth for three days so they have tangy flavors of hard cheese. This is our first home made Burmese style tofu. We will make this again. Thanks to San Francisco and Singapore for ideas about lentil tofu. #fermentation, #minnesota, #burmesetofu, #vegetarian.
In a couple weeks we'll be selling our house of 17 years in Minneapolis and moving to our very small cabin on Lake Mille Lacs. I’m going to miss some of the conveniences of living 10 minutes from downtown, but it is hard to beat this view. #minnesota
Minnesota is supposed to get a big dump of snow, and I'm crossing my fingers that it hits the North Shore and the Grand Marais area. My kid has never snowboarded on good, fresh powder. It would be great if his second year of snowboarding would end with feet of fresh pow. Plus, they'd groom the Pincushion XC ski trails and I'd get a few km in. I'm only short ~950km of my goal. :)
An Indigenous elder and her dog need housing for about a week in the face of the incoming bad weather. This is from linda dot black dot elk on instagram. I don't know her personally or live nearby but wanted to share here in case anyone has options they can pass on to her. I can DM any contact info to linda from my instagram account if you don't have an account. https://www.instagram.com/p/C4tcJNmSJ03/ should be a direct link to the post.
@Nonya_Bidniss I enjoy ice fishing too, but this year was a washout for winter fun. I only got out ice fishing twice, on thin ice. And there was seldom enough snow for snow mobiling. There is a lot to love about #Minnesota, its beauty not the least of it. Its not perfect, but I feel its headed in the right direction.
Harris plans to tour the clinic & speak to healthcare providers. The VP may also talk to patients, though Harris wants to make sure she doesn’t disrupt any services during her visit. She could also speak to reporters outside the clinic.
March 13th, 2024. The first crocus blooms are a month ahead. This is a lovely crocus family ready to feed the pollinators. #minnesota, #zone4b, #pollinators.
