Fred's Minnesota Blog: Minneapolis Orchestra

Minneapolis Orchestra

Liz and I went to the Minneapolis Orchestra last night to see Copland's Appalachian Spring. We had an excellent time.

O Appalachian Spring! I gained the ledge;

Steep, inaccessible smile that eastward bends

And northward reaches in that violet wedge

Of Adirondacks!

We wandered around downtown Minneapolis and split a Fish sandwich at Brit's English Pub.

Quiz of the day, a large and valuable prize to the first person to identify these plants, I am growing for Kate.

You certainly have a green thumb dad. I am glad those guys are in your care instead of mine. Kate

We need some clues. Tea leaves? Bamboo shoots?
What's the 'large and valuable prize'?

They are brussel sprouts. I am tired of getting complaints.
