Today is the Vernal Equinox!
This means we are moving in the right direction towards the warmth of
the summer – but we are so not there yet!
At a balmy 27 degrees F (-2 Celsius) with winds a whipping through the
empty tree branches – it’s a bitter cold day here.
The first Robin of Spring has came to light – but I’m sure
she wishes she had waited until the snow melted a little more before she flew
all the way back up here. Her poor
little tootsies!
The tulips are poking up out of the snow – again, I’m
thinking that although it is March and it is officially Spring today – the Tulip
Festivals in Michigan take place in May.
May, not March, my foolish little tulips.
The two snowmen the kids down the road built two days ago
have melted – I wish I would have taken the picture two days ago – the long
lump of snow was a snow snake – it was pretty cool!
The Tigers are full into Spring Training in Lakeland, FLA –
getting ready for the most fabulous of Opening Day events in Detroit on April 5th at Comerica Park. Note the palm tree – yup, got none of those
here!!
And the days are getting longer – which is always a good thing
– can’t beat the sun at 7:00 at night!
So everyone – HAPPY SPRING – may your days be brighter,
happier and more productive in the months ahead!
Come tiptoe through the Tulips with me!! That is, when they actually come up – should be
in early May, if you can wait a couple months….
