Last Saturday, January 27th was a warm winter day in Minnesota. I traveled to Lanesboro to pick up some art prints, from the Lanesboro Arts Center, to use with my art students. And it became what
Julia Cameron would call an "Artist Date." An artist date is an activity done solo to look at art, be in nature, or do something to fill up on beauty and breathe in the good air and see new things.
I took a few pictures around this beautiful little town located on the Root River.
I took a walk up a steep hill to the golf course and found some ice along the way to crack. Oh, that is one of my favorite things to do! Crazy, but oh so fun!
Can you see the water trickling under that thin sliver of ice? The water was running all over, tickling and rushing. I could see it and hear it. Mmmmm, sensations of lusciousness every where.
Here's the road I walked up and down.

I found some delicious coffee at a natural foods grocery on the corner of Coffee St and Parkway.
And a delicious turkey sandwich at the Pastry Shoppe.
