We’re well into the spring sports season, and still dealing with cancellations, reschedules, and shortened games because of all the cold, rainy, windy weather. I don’t recall a spring sports season that’s been quite so interrupted in many years.

More seasonal weather on the way
It was not one of those weekends to write home about as it was wet and chilly. Some locations picked up nearly 2.00 inches of rain. Rainfall amounts of .50 to 1.25 inches were very common throughout the state. All of this rain this spring, and the snow this past winter, has put the drought behind us for pretty much the entire state of Minnesota, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. For those who have not been happy with our chilly and wet spring, this has been the one silver lining in all of this crazy weather.
Beyond Reason
Mother’s Day is the one day a year when Mother gets to put her feet up and is waited on hand and foot by her minion. Father brings her an iced coffee, just the way she likes it. The children deliver the remote control, blankets, and a snack. Uninterrupted, Mother watches an entire episode of BBC-produced British period piece on PBS. It is pure bliss.
