If a picture is worth a thousand words this would be the longest blog post I've ever written.
There's no way I can adequately describe in words what 83 degrees in October feels like to Minnesotans, So rather than a bunch of Meteo-babble, I'll show you instead. I hope you savored your own little slice of heaven Monday.
Enjoy!

Kayaker soaks up afternoon sun on quiet water of St. Louis Bay on Lake Minnetonka.
One more day at the beach! Family soaks it in at Deephaven Beach.
(Note the lower water levels relative to the dock.)

St. Louis Bay glows with colors now.
Color splashes everywhere.
Classic Sumac red.
Tree swing anyone?

Thanks Paul.
I was traveling back up from Iowa yesterday, and so didn't have the chance to take any pictures on a beautiful and unnaturally warm indian summer day!
