~Spring is in the air here in MN and I'm loving it.  We're finally seeing upper 40 degree weather and the snow is quickly melting away.  Soon the allergies will kick in which will stink, but in the meantime I thought another spring time picture would be cool to share today.  So above is a look at a White House Garden in the spring of 1921 via The Library of Congress.com.  Enjoy!~
