Who hits 87 degrees in October? Not Minnesota. At least not until this year.
Who wears summer dresses this month? My girls, apparently.
We had an amazing week and an even more amazing weekend. We've been given a reprieve before winter officially begins, so we've been soaking up every extra breath of sunshine and warmth. The windows are thrown wide open, capturing every minutia of fresh air before the cold settles in.
Flip flops and sandals have been pulled back out of closets and shorts have not yet been put away.
Then the family went to Tin Fish at Lake Calhoun for dinner. It's an outdoor restaurant right on the lake. I waited in line for 35 minutes to order and when I got near the front I could finally see their "sold out" list: they had nothing. Literally nothing. They had cod and tilapia: no walleye, no salmon, no mahi mahi, no chicken, no burgers and finally, no fries. Good for them for having an incredible weekend so that they went through their inventory over the two beautiful weekend days. Bad for them for not putting the signs out farther from the window so you knew when you got in line that there was nothing there that anyone under the age of 10 would eat. Despite this, the place was packed; I knew they would do just fine if we walked away and took our business elsewhere.
Marissa and Lindsey entertained themselves while waiting to eat. |
Love the rotating dessert carousel next to the hip bar. |
Dinner automatically comes with a toy: a teddy bear with fairy wings. |
Blue cotton candy for dessert. The Davanni's sign behind them is across the street, visible through the open windows. |
It was a perfect end to a wonderful weekend, soaking up every minute of the gorgeous weather. It will be a big shock when autumn finally begins acting like autumn.
Don't you love it, love it!? I have a feeling there will be no "autumn" this year -- just go right into winter. We've been warm but not like that --we have lake effect cooling.
