Quintessential Minnesota
September 4, 2016
These things are emblematic of “Minnesota” to me:
- Stands of white-trunked birch trees
- The haunting calls of loons on the lakes
- The whine of mosquitos in my ears
- The raised welts on my skin from mosquito and other bug bites
- The humidity
- The sound of wavelets lapping on the dock
- The sustained low rumble of thunder, like God’s stomach growling
- The play of clouds across spacious skies
- Rusty cars (even though there are far fewer rusty carts now compared to when I was growing up there)
