In short sleeves and shorts.

Spring has arrived early in my part of Minnesota. But I'm not yet certain if that's a blessing. Temperatures 40 degrees above the normal highs of 40-some degrees have caused the buds on bushes and trees to come out already. But hey, it's still possible to get a hard freeze and snow, even as late as mid-April and early May. If that happens, it could bring devastation to the growth. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed. That the warm trend continues. Even the lake I live on opened several days ago -- completely free of ice. Normally, that doesn't happen until the second week of April. Meanwhile, I'm hiking and biking in short sleeves and shorts. --Jim Broede
