PHOTO A DAY IN MAY - DAY 9



                                                   MINNESOTA'S OTHER SEASON!
                                                       Winter and Road Construction!

Is it just me or does it seem like the last couple years have been just terrible for this?? Maybe it's just me But it seems like every road I turn down lately seems to be closed or under construction. We put a man on the Moon, You would really think by now they could have found a material that doesn't fall apart in extreme temps like we have here in MN.
Unless of course it's all part of a greater conspiracy! Hmmm  That might be a blog for another day.
For today this is all I have. On small piece of my day and yours! Happy Road Construction!

PHOTO A DAY MAY -Day 6


What a contrast from last week! 
The picture on top is a week 1/2 ago.
The picture on the bottom is this morning!
These pics were taken in exactly the same place a week 1/2 apart! 
I LIKE THIS MORNING MUCH BETTER! 
Although the white stuff does make for a beautiful picture!
 It's just a matter of time before the leaves emerge and make this picture perfect! 
God's beauty and creativity never cease to amaze me!

PHOTO A DAY IN MAY - Day 5 CINCO DE MAYO!



So we decided to take the girls to a nice quiet breakfast at our favorite spot. The Original Pancake House in Edina. Delicious food can even make you forget you have an allergy to dairy, right Katie??
Everything was awesome.





Then on our way home we see the Burnsville Mobile command center driving down the frontage road in Burnsville. So we followed it to see where it was going. As we drove by Buck Ski hill we saw the entire Burnsville Police force in the trailer park next to Buck Hill.
We "needed" windshield wiper blades so we pulled in to O'Reily's where the Burnsville Command center happened to be parked. Truly an amazing sight to watch as the men began getting their gear on  to head into the trailer park.
But, by far the coolest part was when the camouflage sharp shooters showed up! 


Then shortly after several men dressed in camo came out loaded with gear and shields. 
We also saw an all black M.A.G.G. armored truck  top hatch open with an armed man out the top!!!
I'm telling you this was serious business!! 
It all ended peacefully as far as we know. We sat in the parking lot for almost 2 hours waiting for something to happen. We have no idea why there was a standoff but I am sure we will find out tonight on the news. 
You just never know what your day will hold! This was pretty cool!
