Are you tired of seeing the more nature-y side of Minneapolis? Sorry, it's what is making me happy right now. The colors and the light this time of year are so fabulous, not to mention the cozy feeling I get while snuggling up next to the fire with my pup and family as I try to forget the dumpster fire of politics happening in our nation. Thought that was gonna stay positive there, didn't you? Sorry. (Not sorry.)Today I volunteered to work phone banks and to go door to door talking to strangers about politics. It's that important to me. I ask my servers, my shop clerks and my babysitters if they are voting and what their plan to do so is. Are you voting? Do you know how you're getting to the polls that day? When are you going? Please don't let life get in the way of this important American privilege. Unless you think our current president is a genius -- then by all means stay home and watch TV.Here are your internet shares of the day:+ Well of course I'm going to link to this. Here's how you can volunteer before the election.+ A new movie that looks spectacular!+ Close-up photos of butterfly wings! Gorgeous!
