Please join me on a recap of yesterday's trip to Hudson and my visit with some old friends, Trumpeter Swans. I enjoy saying trip it helps me feel like I went somewhere far away, where in reality it's 43 miles from my garage!
Okay I came early and stayed late. Hudson has much to offer. I mean where else can you find on one block, an outstanding cozy and quirky bookstore, flower shop and divine chocolate shop with ice cream all in a row?

"You are never too old to set another goal
or to dream a new dream. " Les Brown

"I've learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams. . . . .
and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." Henry David Thoreau
And no, I wasn't invited to dine or walk along.
Are you leading or following?
Honestly the steps we take themselves
make our path as we wander the
streets or throughout nature's calling to us.
Let joy wash over you.
"Let me keep my distance, always, from those who think they have all the answers.
Let me keep company with those who say, Look up! and laugh in astonishment, and bow their heads." Mary Oliver
I always wanted to spend even one night here.
Once upon a Bed and Breakfast now appears
to be a private residence. Across the street
is the famous Octagon House Museum.
The famous Octagon House another hard place to get in on the tour.

Minnesota greenery.
Some deer of Lakeland, Minnesota
of which there are many.
Thank you for sharing time with me.
Take good care of you.
If you're close to Stillwater or could make the drive, I hope you arrived in time before these incredible snow-sculptures were wiped away. We came we saw and enjoyed 2026 until next year's event.
