Where's Spring?

This is Minnesota, and we expect winter to drag on - forever, but this winter seems so much longer than normal. And to make matters worse, it's snowing as I'm typing this - yipee, I get to go shovel again! Yesterday was Ash Wednesday, six weeks until Easter. This means, for me, that I start getting spring fever. Yes, we're the best place for snowmobilers and cross-country skiiers as we are directly located at the beginning of the Heartland Trail that takes you to over 400 miles of trails. But I'm tired of the cold and snow, so sorry snowmobilers and winter enthusiasts. I long for warm spring and summer days when everyone wants to come to the Red Bridge Inn for rest and relaxation! And let's not forget - romance! We're a great place for couples to enjoy a glass of wine on the deck looking over the peaceful river! C'mon Spring!!! And please plan your getaway and come visit us at the Red Bridge Inn (whether it's spring, summer, fall OR winter).

Is it over???

I heard on the news last night that we had 41 days of sub-zero temperatures. 41 days!!! Ee gads, is it over yet? If today was any indication, I would say, "yes it is." As I was driving east I saw the temperature sign and it read 41 degrees...isn't that ironic! So I'm hoping that spring is just around the corner. But for those of you still wanting to snowmobile, cross-country ski, etc., there is still plenty of snow for the winter activities! A good hot breakfast will get you on your way for the day. Then afterwards get a massage and relax! Enjoy a glass of wine and unwind from the stress of Monday-Friday! You might find yourself wanting to come back for more of the Red Bridge Inn!
