We spent Valentines Day traveling to South Haven, Michigan. The ice was frozen and silent. The lighthouse stands as a testament to resilience against the constant battering of Lake Michigan. The sun finally broke its way through the clouds and warmed the shoreline after a long grey winter.
Just like that, a few days out, the snow is melted, and the first false spring has arrived. It's amazing how quickly the seasons change.
When I look back on the past couple of years, it almost feels like it went by almost as quickly.
Since I last posted here, Margaret and I welcomed another son into the family. We've settled into life in Grand Rapids. And, I have a lot more grey. As much as I am bothered by the passage of time, I also see the blessings of God that time brings.
If you've made it this far, thanks for sticking around. 🙂 Hopefully, I will see you out and about this spring.

Imagine standing on the Holland pier, the cool breeze and the warm sun playing with the temperature. The morning light is harsh but not unwelcome. Lake Michigan is filled with hues of blue and green. What do you enjoy most about visiting the big lake?

The seasons are so distinct in Michigan. Spring time is filled with flowers and pop up rain showers. The beach is still cold at times but the sun spreads its warmth more often than not. Its a much busier time than late fall due to people emerging from their hibernation. It is a time of renewal and hope which often lifts my spirits.

Here is your sign to go watch the sunset today. 🌅🙂

Do you enjoy the spring flowers?
We have gotten out hiking a few times this past month and nature feels as if it's ready for spring. The buds on the trees are starting to burst and our daffodils are about to bloom. Everything is waiting for just the right moment.
What springtime plants do you look forward to?

Do you prefer moonlit or starry nights?
Little Sable Point is one of my favorite places to visit at night. A full moon is incredible with the light illuminating the dunes. Overcast with clouds is dark with the only light being from the lighthouse and the horizon. The rest of the dunes are swallowed up in inky blackness.
If you want a really beautiful site, come out on a new moon when the skies are clear. The Milky Way appears and gives quite the show. What type of night would you go out to visit?

Hey! Things are warming up! We've got the project bug this month and are about to do some spring cleaning. We know its still March and can snow but we can dream. 🏖 😄 There is only 15 days left of winter!
Speaking of things warming up, do you have any plans to get out and about this month? We've got Lake Michigan on our horizon a little later in March. Where is the springtime taking you?

Had a taste of nice weather this week before dipping back down to 30°F. I know we've had an unusually warm winter but I can't complain. 😄
Did you have a chance to get out this week during the warm spell?

Snowy days! Margaret and I had a chance to get away to a local nature center during our last snow. It was extremely brisk! Fortunately for us the woods here blocks most of the wind. The Farmers Alminac says were going to have a roller coaster of temperatures befire we see a consistent spring. Do you think we will get more snow this year or have we seen the last of it?

Do you have a favorite coastal town? A strong candidate for us is Charlevoix, Michigan. It has lots of tiny shops, a small town atmosphere, and a beautiful lighthouse! Just off their coast is beaver Island to which a ferry runs daily. ⛴ Maybe we should try to make it out to the island this summer? 🏖
