We had a great time looking at and smelling all the tulips in Holland Michigan. Here is an album of the pictures that we took.
Spring has come.
Welcome the first daffodils of the season.
Today for the first time in a month I took a walk outdoors in sweats rather than my full winter gear. Temps are already in the high 30s and could reach the high 40s. And, today pitchers and catchers report to MLB spring training.
I just took a walk outside. According to Accuweather, it’s 5 degrees but the RealFeel is 17 degrees thanks to the sunshine and lack of wind. With the proper clothes on it’s actually pretty nice given the sunshine.
At my home we got sleet, snow, and some wind but not the extent to which had been forecasted. It’s icy enough to keep me indoors and I see some tree branches that have fallen due to the weight of the snow. I know there are thousands of homes that lost power, but fortunately we were not one. Right now the temperature is 26 degrees with a wind chill of 14, and we are heading into a week of temperatures in the teens for highs and single digits to below zero for lows.
First thing I noticed when I started my walk this morning is the number of squirrels out and about. Temps are going above normal today, and they seem gleeful.
We traveled from the southern most point to the northern most point of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan last week during near peak fall colors.
The holiday weekend has begun with beautiful weather. On days like this I am grateful to live in Michigan.
Looking through the pictures that I took during my most recent trip to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and I think this one of the Cut River Bridge is one of the best.
