Right around this time of the year I start getting a nasty case of the winter blues. I mean, how can you not miss those amazing Minnesota summer days on the lake or late night bonfires in your shorts roasting marshmallows? It all just seems so far away until you put it into perspective. I like to chunk my season down into little milestones that help me get through the cold season with a positive attitude. I mean, if you think about it, spring and summer are both right around the corner. If you don't believe me, just look at some of these dates that are fast approaching!
