A robin bathed in sunlight near green grass partially covered with snow.

I don’t believe we’ve reached ice out (and perhaps never will 💙), but there are signs of spring in #Mpls

Proud to have been part of this effort. 💜💟☮️

A blanket of yellow leaves cover yards, sidewalk, and street.

Last night’s temps intensified the leaf drop. And, yes, I kicked through them all. Can we restart street sweeping? 💟☮️☺️ #MeMoments #Autumn #Mpls

Holy! 💛❤️ #BlueCy

The Republicans are going all the way to the Supreme Court to starve hungry children but please tell me again how the shutdown is the fault of the Democrats.

Dog looks away from a tv broadcasting a Cyclone basketball game.

He’s more interested in treats now but we’ll make him a Cyclone fan eventually. ❤️💛🌪️🏀 #DemonDogDays #BlueCy

Tan and white dip on red leash sits on yellow leaves in front of a body of water.

Connor hears loons at Bde Maka Ska. Autumn in #Mpls 🍁🍂 ☺️

Sunlight shining through bright yellow and green tree canopy over a sidewalk.

Autumnal colors are popping! #Mpls #MeMoment😊🍁🍂

Two walleye tacos with lettuce cheese and diced tomatoes.

Final walleye tacos of the season. Perfect way to celebrate our anniversary! #TinFish #Mpls

Bee on center of gorgeous red and yellow flower.

I'm grateful Connor tolerates my impromptu pic-stops. Today's was especially awesome after yesterday's Cy-Hawk win.

Minneapolis skyline against a beautiful blue sky.

Times are rough. Political chaos and hatred reigns. Today I took a moment to soak in a beautiful view of my favorite city from the top of a parking ramp. #MPLS 💟☮️

Burger, pickle, onion rings and shake on a tray with red checkered paper.

Because a trip north doesn’t count unless you stop at Gordy’s Hi-Hat. IYKYK 😋🍔

Lilacs among green leafy branches against a bright blue sky. A brick building is visible on the right-hand side of the image.

Definitely spring in Minneapolis, moving far too quickly into summer.

Tan and white dog curled up asleep on a brown couch.

It’s a ruse. Demon dog has already dug a hole in the yard and tracked mud throughout the house this morning. Sigh. #DemonDogDays #MplsSpring

Sending love light and peace to all who knew him. 💔

Black and yellow bee huddled along door trim.

Don’t worry 🐝 happy. 😊

Black leather rectangle with a skull, butterfly, and happy face.

My new leather lanyard represents my mood today quite well. 💀 🦋 🙂

To be clear: a tariff is a tax.

Minnesota governor Walz stands with his hand over his heart in front of MAPE union banners.

“Now is the time to stand with our public workers!” Thanks @governorwalz.mn.gov, I think so too. MAPE 💪🏼

Amazing Thai and Origami Tiger are fairly close. Also Barbette and Lake & Irving are a couple blocks toward the lakes.

Donald Trump is embarrassing the United States on the world stage. We are a country that stands up to dictators and fights for democracy.

Minnesota stands firmly with our allies in Ukraine.
