Well folks spring has finally sprung in Michigan! It has been a long hard winter for us folks in the north country, but warmer days and sunshine are on the horizon! Before you know it we will be only shoveling every other day, instead of everyday. Temperatures will rise from 10 degrees to a sultry 30 degrees. And parkas? Put them away and don your 3-in-1 ski jackets (you know a mild morning in March can end in a 4pm blizzard). In celebration of the spring season I have decided to remove one bag of salt (of the 200lbs) from the back of my truck. Yes, I am a hopeless optimist. Of course I used the bag I removed to salt my driveway in preparation for the impending ice storm.

As I am writing this, we are experiencing a lovely ice/sleet mix. I can just about see some brightness in the sky where the sun was in August last year. Wow! It's time to get some new shades! My eyes are not used to this!
