I wandered far afield for lunch the other day, driving around Lake Calhoun and Lake Harriet. All the signs of late fall were showing, the trees bare, and the Minneapolis Parks & Recreation Board had made their preparations for the winter.
The Tin Fish has been shuttered.
Sail boats pulled from the lakes.
Ride Share bikes gathered for storage.
The fountains drained and boarded.
And the Rose Garden put to bed.
It’s not all bad as the holidays are coming and so is the first snow fall. When it comes, the three of us are going to Beard Plaisance to go sledding; a hill second only to Beachland Park from my hometown for a downhill run. I think we should buy new toboggans to commemorate the occasion.
