After a weekend of snowmobiling up by Mille Lacs Lake I received this email from my mom. She just returned from Mexico. If you live in Minnesota, you’d understand the excitement of “Spring Break”…“Wow! Let me tell you about this crazy dream I had. I dreamt I got off a plane and felt the warm breeze coming off the ocean .Nice warm sunny weather. Saw the bluest water that you ever could see. Saw the ocean waves. Ate the yummiest food. Real Mexican tacos, fresh lobster, lime soup, papaya. There was many kinds of beer, margarita’s, sex on the beach, piÑa colata's , mohito's, tequila ....and so much more . Bull fights...beaches...beaches, beaches.... bar after bar .Many little shops selling everything you never need. It was all good. Then this morning I awoke..looked out the window and saw 11 inches of snow . What a terrible ending to a beautiful dream…We are back and it was WONDERFUL. There is a "God" and his design of Mexico was prefection.”
It’s funny I was thinking the same thing about Minnesota. We barely take the time to enjoy the beauty of our Minnesota winters. This past weekend we took our snowmobiles up north for an adult weekend of sledding. While they were soaking up the 80* sun in Mexico we we’re bundled up in layers, excited to get out and enjoy the rarely seen Minnesota winter sun with the temperature below zero. The “snow” my mother referred to was still pure and undisturbed. As we cut through Jack Pines, Birch trees, Native Grasses, I was filled with the same awe I can assume my mom was enjoying in Mexico. At one point in the day after traveling miles down the trails we chased a couple of deer back into the woods. When evening came we journeyed through the same scenic paths with the fresh fallen snow glistening in the moonlight. It was such a beautiful day. I could easily say, There is a God and his design of perfection is off the beaten track in snowy Minnesota.
I wish I had my camera along for the ride, so I could share the view with you. I guess you’ll have to take advantage of the Minnesota snowmobile trails yourself, I recommend a sunny day right after a huge snowfall. You won’t be disappointed.
Thank You for the FREEBIES
