It was a perfect spring day for walking the dogs. Minneapolis is such a beautiful city!
Nearly every home had a sign in the yard or in the window supporting their immigrant neighbors.
All we can do is take care of each other is what this sign said.
Nancy and I spent a delightful evening with several mutual friends...and we celebrated the "neighboring" that has been happening in Minneapolis. It's that butterfly effect! Tomorrow we head to Iowa!
Did you know that if you slice the stems of dandelions as thin as you can with a knife...they coil up into tight curls when you immerse them in water.
Yup....we tried it. You can take the girls out of the country...but you can't take the country out of the girls.
It happens almost instantly....so would be a fun thing to do with kids.
Thank you for including us in your neighborhood dogwalking, MaryAnn and Nancy. Just perfect. And now I think I'm going to have to slice me up some dandelion stems! Maybe toss the curls into an omelet!
ReplyDeleteSuch good memories being made. Today we head to Iowa!

DeleteDandelion stems can be dried and woven into baskets. Flower can be eaten make wine or salve. It’s an amazing plant.
