They tell me that we should gird our loins for snow again soon. I am sighing, but I'm not surprised. This is just what it means to live in Michigan in April.
So, today being promised as the only "nice" day for a while, we did what any reasonable (read: cabin feverish, over-energetic) family of four would do: we went to the playground.
The children were delighted that we didn't have to wear coats. "No COATS!" they sang out as they got ready. Here is what "no coats" looks like to a Michigan child. 
(In case you live in a sunnier clime, windbreakers are NOTHING like coats; coats are giant puffy concoctions that hamper your movements.)
And here is the joy of springtime:
Happy Saturday!

Ohhhh, isn't it beautiful today? You realize they're predicting INCHES of snow (4-7? 5-10?) for tomorrow and Monday morning???
Take heart! It's just the last few weeks before spring. I can't believe there's real bare ground there, even if you are getting snow tomorrow. :)
It's funny how many Yukon bloggers are complaining that they want to see spring come already. I never expect the snow to leave here until at least May. They're predicting above freezing temps for this whole coming week, so what's to complain about! Besides, spring is my least favourite season... I'll take mild winter days over slushy, melty, puddly ones!
We had the exact same 'spring' happen here today. My kids were so excited to go outside without their ski pants on! It was probably a high of 45 - lol - but with SUNSHINE. Welcome spring.
More great photos! Spring is on the way!!
Here on LI was one of the nicest days we have had in months... we got to run around in our sweatshirts and the kids were delighted.. what great pictures.. hold on.. only a few more weeks until we can go jacketless!!!
Ohhh, just when I thought that white stuff might finally be gone... it snowed. Again.
