NOT NORMAL!!!

This weekend has been unusually warm here along the shore.  Saturday it was 61.5 F and today it is 59F.  The average high for this time of year is 29F. never ever like this!  I know it is much warmer inland – but wow this is great for those of us living on the shore of Lake Michigan!
I ran around the garden a couple of time to take a few (well many more than a few) photos.  It is still the middle of winter but you would not know it from the temperatures and the warm sun and breeze.  What a great weekend as a break for the winter season.
I am sharing all this as a  “log” journal of this weekend for the season this year.

Enjoy the pictures and feel the warmth!




Have no idea what it is - but it is green yeah!

  1. Beautiful spring scenes. We have had above normal temperatures as well, but still lots of snow cover.

  2. Yes, crazy mild here in the Midwest. I hope the plants don't get too far along and then get frozen out. I'm also a little worried about what the summer will bring if it's this warm now. I don't mind the heat, but a drought would be awful! Beautiful photos, though!

  3. It's a glorious feeling when warmth returns to the planet. I hope the weather gods continue to be kind to you.
