Today

Today was warm for mid January here in mid- Minnesota.

It was a perfect day for the Ice Cream Social down near the frozen-over St. Croix River. (There is still a small area of open water.)

A perfect day for the Old Time Baseball game. Bare hands. Icy dark baseball. Players warming their wooden baseball bats over the flames of the blazing bonfire.

A perfect day for hot-air balloons rising over the valley. One lifted off feet away from us attending the Washington County Historical Society's Ice Cream Social.

Kids of all ages got to play baseball. Some batted the ball onto the frozen river. Sometimes almost near the open water.

Nother horrible happened.

It was a perfect day.
