Yeah spring! I'm in MI too, so that must mean that one of these days the snow will stop and the sun will shine and spring will actually arrive... ;)

We are having a horrible winter, aren't we.  there doesn't seem to be an end in sight. 
i went out with the camera and am so uninspired because everything is white or closed.
i'm dying for a clear blue sky and a few pretty leaves and a defrosted lake...maybe some green under my feet.

I have the Cardinals, Blue Jays, Hawks, and a handful of other winder birds around. I'm just waiting to see my first robin then I know relief is on its way atleast within a month or so. I am sick and tired of shoveling snow :-\.

cheer because he found a job in this state.  that gives me hope that i will soon find one too. 
I'm looking in Kalamazoo now since Grand Rapids is not doing well.  i get more call backs from the places in Portage than here.  so it looks like I'll be moving...just not too far.

Hi,

This is how I keep track of how close spring is.

http://www.hummingbirds.net/map.html

You just have to know there are flowers and small insects out when they arrive. They arrived in the Gulf a few days earlier than usual. Its fun to watch the progress north of the the ruby throated hummingbird.
