I stepped onto the deck this morning and snapped a picture of a typical Minnesota summer morning. There’s a song by that name. Minnesota Morning and the song gets it right.

If you walk in your yard on a normal summer day in Minnesota, it’s a good idea to wear rubber boots or go barefoot. Otherwise you’ll have to change your shoes and socks when you come inside. The grass is that wet.

And so is the air, as you can see. There’s another place like this in the USA. The Smoky Mountains and that’s how they got their name. Not because of smoke, but because they are as misty as Minnesota in the morning.

Any place else you know that’s like this?
