Will spring ever come???


Soooo will spring ever come to Northern Michigan??
I think it is finally here as I write this on May 21st ... the tulips are in bloom ... the flowering trees and the leaves of the trees popped out on Monday.
About time!!
As you can see we had sooo much snow and the picture of the cabin taken from downstream was taken around May first.  Crazy winter.
I have been kayaking and Mike has done some fishing but not as much as usual for this time of year.
Too cold and every thing is behind schedule.

Finnley and I took a field trip to one of the garden stores to look and all the beautiful flowers.  She loved it but was more interested in the water fountains.  She loves being outside and we take lots of walks and stroller rides...even in the rain as we did the other day!!  I really enjoy my two days with her.. it brings back so many memories of our boys when they were that age...so precious.
We can hardly believe that our other little darling, Seamus, is a year old as of May 7th!!  We sent him a wagon for his Birthday as Timothy demo's in the picture above.  He is just adorable and looks so much like Timothy at the same age.  We hope to see them soon and I cannot wait to hug that guy.
Seamus started walking a few days before his Birthday so  watch out world  he is on the move.  Finnley is ready to go camping in the camper...Patrick sent me this picture and I love it.  They have a older Winibago camper and just got it out of storage for the season.
Easter came and went and all of a sudden it was Mothers Day.  We had a lovely afternoon and brunch with Patrick, Heather, Finnley, Michael, Deb and Duane...It is great to be a Mom.
I have not planted any flowers yet...we had frost last weekend ..and will do that after Memorial Day.
I always think of mom and dad at this time of year.  They were married May 22 1943, just 71 years ago and  they would be in their 90's.  I miss them.
Our summer looks to be a busy one and we will savor every warm and sunny day.
Happy days to come.  Love to everyone
