The days are getting longer!

It has been a slow start to spring this year, but it is finally getting here and I believe it is well worth the wait. Spring is so beautiful on the North Shore, the colors are so vibrant and the air smells so sweet.  It is a glorious time of year.  Next weekend is the Solstice Pageant at the North House Folk School in Grand Marais.   It is a full weekend of activities, including a wooden boat show and Saturday evening Solstice pageant.  The Solstice Pageant is a community event not to be missed, live music and large than life puppet show provide entertainment for all ages.  The days are so long this time of year, we have light from about 5am until almost 10pm every day.  It is both a blessing and a curse.  I say curse only because all of the hours of daylight should not be wasted, I have made it my personal responsibility to enjoy all 17 or so hours of glorious daylight.  These beautiful long spring days can take there toll on you, fortunately winter days are much shorter allowing North Shore residence time to catch up on sleep.
