here we go again

Up north we had a bit of Leap day oddness in the form of several inches of fresh snow overnight. We've had buttermilk skies off and on all week so this photo is a pretty good example to be added to Skywatch Friday shots.

If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the

vast and endless sea.

A cloudy day on White Bear Lake doesn't stand in the way of fishing. And the weather vane atop a gazebo roofed boathouse points to good sailing ahead. See more skies, some might actually be blue, here.

Tomorrow we head out on two wheels to Winnipeg to visit old and dear friends. Stay tuned as I'm sure to have some pics of South Dakotan and Canadian skies to share next week.

Happy summer weekend, all!
