After spending the winter in Florida, Ron and I recently returned to La Crosse, Wisconsin. We returned just in time to experience March winds, balmy 70-degree days, and a snowstorm that left four inches of snow behind.
Living in La Crosse allows us to return to daily walks along the Mississippi River that usually end with a stroll through the International Friendship Gardens. I was pleasantly surprised when I noticed for the first time little dolls standing under some of the benches and a snowman by the pond in the China section of the garden. They made me smile and lifted my spirits, so I'm sharing the photos. Thanks to whoever decided to add these whimsical touches for others to enjoy.
Also, a big thank you to the kind soul who tied my lost and much-loved old beige scarf to a post along the trail. They thought that perhaps the owner would eventually walk by and notice it. That's exactly what happened. I'm once again reminded of the warmth and kindness that connects us all.
