Spring Has Sprung in MN!

Author's note:
If someone was to ask me, "I've heard that there's only 1 season in Minnesota: Winter. Is that right?", I always reply, "There are actually 4 seasons in Minnesota, as you'll be surprised to hear." Before they answer, I quickly continue. "They are called "Almost Winter", "Winter", "Still Winter", and "Road Construction"." Now is the season that we seasoned Minnesotans usually call "Road Construction", because it's the one time of year when the roads aren't frozen solid, so nearly every major road is torn up at about this time. But guess what? People are actually using the word "Spring" for the current time! I'm surprised, I must say, but I've also used such a word. It's foreign, yes, but has now been tainted with Minnesotan accents for the first time in years....

Okay, weird title. But here's what I was going to do...

OH MY EFFIN GOD!!!!! I JUST WENT OUTSIDE IN A T-SHIRT AND JEANS, AND GUESS WHAT?????? I DIDN'T TURN INTO A STATUE OF ICE! INSTEAD, I JUST STOOD THERE!!! IN A T-SHIRT!!! AND WAS FINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?
Boys and girls, ladies and gents: It's a Minnesota spring!!! (Aka: It'll either blizzard again by tomorrow, or it'll be 100 degrees by next week.) Ya never know - I was born in May, and I've had birthdays where I went sledding, and birthdays where I coulda gone to the beach, or an outside pool.
Of course, I've also had actual spring birthdays... but out of my 11, only 2 resembled anything like spring. You know, the 60 degree weather, wind, little bit of rain? My very favorite. I love it when it's 60 degrees - not one more, nor one less - and the wind could tear your hair right out of your scalp. I love those days.
And one of those days was on Sunday. That exact type of day. 60 degrees, on the dot, not 1/10 of a degree off. VERY windy. It was such a nice change from 10 degrees and blizzarding. I literally went sprinting up and down the road, yelling "IT'S WARM!!!! HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?! FOR IT TO BE WARM!!!!" Yup. It was quite a sight to see, I bet.
I wasn't on MY street, though... I was running up and down a street that really, really rich people live on: I was touring mansions. And it was really fun... I even found one with a high-up tower to fit my very needs! ;) Anyway, yeah, it was called the Parade of Homes. It was fun. It was also the first in 5 years where it wasn't either pouring rain or hail or snow. Amazing.
So... yeah. I don't really have ALL that much to say. The entire few paragraphs above are basically just "It was 60 out on Sunday, it got to freakin' 72 yesterday, and it's exactly 58.8 degrees out today. Heaven has made its way to Bloomington, Minnesota, folks.

And that's my post. Now, Armin, it's your turn. (Long story. Inside joke. If you were Brynn, Paige, Genesis, or anyone else in my Tech Ed class [only Brynn was in my Tech class, but the rest know about it], you would get it.)

Peace, Love, and Llamas!
-A VERY happy Emiliano
