Beautiful weather. Just beautiful.

At this time of March last year, southern Minnesota temperatures were freezing still. This year, we have highs in the 70s.

Be healthy. Be fit. Get outside this weekend, get some exercise and enjoy the sunshine and the warm temperatures.

Put away the winter coats. Get out the spring jackets. Winter is over, what little of it there was. Spring has sprung, and we are glad for it.

If you don’t take advantage of nice weather when it happens, before you know it, the outdoors will be stormy, hot, humid or buggy or all of the above. Be outdoors during the best time, and that time is now.
