Seedlings
This month we planted the garden. Life begins.
Parade
Minneapolis holds an annual May Day parade. It is part labor-focused and part community-focused. This year the theme was government rot and waste giving way to new life. This giant spider seed was full of hope.
Cooperation
A students' co-op meeting/barbeque.
Watermelon
This contains the hint of the summer to come.
Campfire
An indoor, pretend fire at the Bedlam theater in Minneapolis. Mostly weirdos go there, and the particular brand of Minneapolis hipster/gutter-punks. They're somewhere in between those two, like people from the 1890s carrying Ipods. There is a faded look about them, like hipsters who have lived through winter.
Whiskey Well
At this point, whiskey really was walking on our brains. Later we fell asleep on the kitchen table.
Bridges/Mirrors
The very next day, very hung-over, we took a walk through the spring streets to the Guthrie theater. Which makes no sense even when not really hung-over.
Flags/Flowers
Luckily the world is gorgeous.
Big Sky Country
At the end of May we hit the road, taking 94 all the way out across Montana to Washington. 24 hour drive, anyone?
Chicory
Drinking coffee out-doors makes me think about the civil war, where soldiers used chicory root as a coffee substitute. According to the website I just looked at, the pros include the fact that it is naturally decaffeinated, and the cons include unpleasant taste. But "anything is better than going without!"
Ritzville, Washington
The west has the best abandoned buildings.
North Dakota
I guess I was wrong in thinking that North Dakota is flat and atrociously boring. Ok, I was wrong about the first part.
Red River
Why do people insist on living in flood-plains?
Minneapolis
There is little that makes me more fond of a place than overlooking it from a height. In this case, the wind blew across the sky and the city looked like a forested kingdom.
