Why Minnesota?

This is a questions that I have pondered many times since I migrated here more than 30 years ago from a much milder Ohio climate to the snow and cold of Minnesota. Today I am sitting in my office with my bird feeder outside of my window with a cool breeze coming in and realizing that right now Minnesota is the most beautiful place on earth. Only in Minnesota can you feel warm warm sunshine and natures own air conditioning coming through your windows. Warm days and nights cool enough to have a light blanket and the windows wide open. I just hope that I remember this February 8, 2007.
