February looks like this in Grand Rapids Michigan

Signs of Spring……

Our friends in the south are looking at bulbs coming up, birds nesting, and

other sure signs of spring. Our signs of spring in Grand Rapids Michigan are

a little bit different. We look with eagerness towards any signal that winter

is loosening it’s grip. If you are a Northerner, these photos will tell you

S-P-R-I-N-G is right around the corner:

The huge snow mountains in the parking lots are melting!!

It started before our family had dispersed yesterday.

It came down all night.

This is what we woke up to this morning.

The first big snow is always an event.

There will be snowmen, snowball fights, snow forts, lots of winter fun.

The first snow is still novel. Wish you could all be here to enjoy it with us.

Since that would be unlikely, we thought you might like a photo tour.

If you will notice the nicely shoveled driveway, it would be appreciated.
