Some things I've learned

We've been in our house here in Minnesota just over a week, and I have already learned some things...

Mosquitoes here don't know that they are only supposed to come out in the evenings. They think if you are outside--no matter the time of day or night--you are fair game.

Golf courses are used year-round. In the summer as golf courses. In the winter for cross-country skiing.

Bugs happen. Inside or out, they are always there. From little, hard black beetles to gigantic long-legged centipedes, they are always watching. (Okay, gigantic might be exaggerating things just a wee bit. But still...!)

I only thought I knew what thunderstorms were before. Now I really know.

"Minne" means "water". Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnetonka, Minnehaha...don't know what the rest of the words mean, but I do catch the water theme.

Everything is green all summer long because it RAINS. A lot.

What new wonders will I discover this week?
