Easter is upon us, and we’re headed south to the Francois Family farm to celebrate the Holiday weekend with Ken’s family. It’s a 4 hour drive from here, but it feels more than a world away, a far cry from the bustling city streets of Minneapolis. Life is simpler, time moves a bit slower, and the abundant fresh air and wide open spaces welcome you in, wrap you up solitude and, like clockwork, the stress from the week begins to melt away. Pictured are a few moments I captured last fall during a visit to the farm just after the first snowfall of the year. I’m hoping we’ll be able to detect a few signs of Spring there this weekend (Although I have a sneaky feeling the landscape may look frighteningly similar to these photos!). Enjoy the weekend, and we’ll see you on Monday!

This weekend we’re headed off to our friends, Briony and Andy’s, family lake cabin for their semi-annual Cabin Weekend, an event they host twice a year–once in the winter and once in the summer–as a way to get friends together amidst everyone’s busy lives. And it’s one that I always really look forward to! Both the winter and summer parties are fun for different reasons, but if I had to choose I’d say I’m partial to the winter weekend, as there’s something so cozy about the combination of good friends, spiked hot cocoa, card games and a warm fire in a log cabin in the woods during the middle of winter. I can’t wait for 5 o’clock to roll around today so we can get on the road; it’s going to be a fun weekend away! What are your plans for the weekend?
