Snow?! And Signs of Spring

I knew it was snowing during dinner last night, but I honestly didn't expect to wake up to this:





Snow on the growing tulips:





There wasn't much red roof showing this morning (it did melt by afternoon)


Snow in the burley (even though it was closed- our cover is in rough shape)


The striped squill in our yard did not like the snow:


Bike rack at Mackinac Island Public School:


The kite was out at Windemere Point today! A good sign of spring!





A tulip bud!


Hawks circling Robinson's Folly (at least, I think they were hawks):








Lake Huron looking beautiful:



Budding:

  1. Don't you just love spring? So unexpected! I'm glad the snow didn't last long, though. And thanks for the pic of the Windermere kite. We always stay at the Windermere, and I love sitting on the porch in the summer and watching the kites go amazingly high!

    1. It's the first day I've seen the kite out this year- definite sign of spring! I should expect just about anything from Michigan weather- but I was quite surprised by the amount of spring-snow!
