While I’ve had my share of bad winter and spring weather here in Chicago, it still isn’t nearly as harsh as it’s been at my mom Peggy’s house in Northern Michigan. She’s still patiently (??) waiting for the soil to get warm enough to get her plants in the ground. Just yesterday morning, there was yet another dusting of snow and overnight frosty temperatures in the low 30’s. While it may be a nuisance, Peggy did get some beautiful pictures that for the moment make you forget it’s mid-May.
Keeping the Orioles alive in the cold!
Yum! Fresh oranges for the birds are a hit.
Everything is ready, except the weather!
Has spring truly felt like it’s arrived at your house yet?

Yeah, I love visiting the UP and northern Michigan, but it’s way too rugged for me as a place to live.
I think the UP is a whole level harsher than where my mom is. This winter was just particularly rough for everyone. But on the flip side, she does get to live where we all like to vacation
