Three Things: The End of Swimming Season Edition
For all intents and purposes, our swimming season is over in the Midwest: Labor Day has come and gone, and the school year has begun. If you’re bound and determined, though, you may find a few warm days yet before autumn truly takes its hold. This week, let’s toast the few months of the year when we Minnesotans eschew our layers and bare our skin.

I’m in a quiet mood this morning. And since I can’t have a quiet day, I’m living vicariously through quiet images. Join me?
