5 days earlier we had a great night to sit on the patio and enjoy a pizza and a beer. By Friday night, we were all bundled up and hoping to get a bit of warmth from the heater and hopeful the walls would break the wind.
Fun evening, great to have Lizzie come to town but it was good to get in the car and turn on the heat.
Thursday was both cold and very, very windy. We chose to walk instead of trying to get a ride in.
Still found time and a warm airy spot to get a coffee and warm up a bit before the windy walk back.
Beautiful night to hang at The Saint Paul Brewery on the Eastside - part of the old Hamm's Brewery.
Everyday this week was a great day - and the weekend turned out to be the same.
Still lots of great fall views, but expect that the upcoming wind and rain will bring most of it down this next week.
Gotta enjoy while we can - the dark winter of Covid it still ahead.
How did I end up with 2 groups of friends with tickets to the fair - so off we went again........
A great day weatherwise, and how can you not enjoy more fair food
Federal Corps of Engineers has opened up the dam to let the Mississippi go to it natural state so they can do inspections and maintenance. Interesting to see spots that are usually full of water - and it sure brought out the crowds.
And another great day for a bike ride....the days are numbered.
The CEZ, Creative Enterprise Zone, an industrial area in Saint Paul that is also adding a whole new living neighborhood with in it has been zoned as an area to also support the arts.
The last couple years they have been working to add murals on the massive walls of concrete that are everywhere throughout the neighborhood. Today they hosted an outdoor open house to take in the 20+ murals at the moment - with a several year plan to keep the program going.
Turned out to be an 80F day in October - so worth the walk around the CEZ.
We were lucky enough to get in for the first round of the fair food drive through and then we made the list again when they came up with this new October program.
Added another to the mix - so we could get more food!!!!!!
Another fun day!
Friends have their weekly veggie pick up on Tuesday. What could be better than a local brew pub as the local pick up spot.
Nice day to hang out and get the pick up done as well.
