Sunday was a perfect day for cross country skiing in the Carleton Arb. Sunny, light wind, about 15 degrees F. It ended with a fabulous sunset.

The sunny cold spell has produced some fabulous icicles around town. I think the east side of the McClaughry Building might have the biggest one. The awning over the…
The vapor rising from the Cannon River as it flows over the Ames Mill dam has created a wonderland of hoar frost in a small area of downtown Northfield during this recent cold spell.

NAG Board member Steve Engler took dozens of photos at the Beaux Arts Ball on Saturday and gave me a disk of them yesterday. I put on my editor’s hat, tossed/cropped a few, and am now pleased to present them here.
Above: Locally Grown’s propriety guidelines prevent me from publishing the rest of the series of photos of Steve with his wife, Lynn.

Yesterday morning’s Alberta clipper dusted us with an inch or two of snow, prompting me to try my hand at another round of macro photos (see the autumn album) in the Carleton Arb. I’ll probably add to this album over the next week as a parade of snow ‘event’s’ are predicted to march through southern Minnesota.

Last night’s Beaux Arts Ball, part of Northfield Arts Guild’s 50th Anniversary season, was spectacular. I ratcheted back on the number of photos I took, once I saw that David Henke from the Northfield News and Steve Engler, NAG board member, were also taking lots of photos. I’ll link to their albums when they get them posted. If you were there and have photos, add a comment below with a link.

I stopped by Just Food Co-op last night for their owner-exclusive 5-year anniversary celebration. As a member/owner, I scored lots of free yummy goodies while taking a few photos. Note that they have a new logo and a revamped blog site.

One of the GBM morning regulars, Jose Rodriguez (“Hey you tender white boys!”), alerted me to yesterday’s annual celebration of Our Lady of Guadalupe at St. Dominic Catholic Church here in Northfield. (On the church’s Comunidad Hispana web page: “St. Dominic is the spiritual home for the majority of the 1,500 people of Hispanic descent living in Northfield.”)
I got permission from my former seminarian buddy, Father Denny Dempsey, to take photos at the 5 PM Mass featuring “traditional Mexican dance, meal, and Mariachi band.”

Andrea Een alerted me (again!) to Tuesday’s Norsk Julegudstjeneste (Norwegian Christmas Church Service) at St. Olaf’s Boe Memorial Chapel.
Strib columnist Kim Ode wondered this about holiday sweaters earlier this week:
How do you know whether your neighbor is wearing hers ironically — or sincerely? And how do you make sure people know that you’re wearing yours ironically?
