That Midwest Sky……

We spent the weekend just about an hour south of us at a home on Long Lake. A fun family gathering to celebrate a special birthday. There was a huge willow tree growing at the lake's edge and you could tell that the leaves were just about to pop. The whole tree had a kind of yellow "glow" about it - especially as we walked along the lake's edge about a mile away and looked back, across the water, at the property.

And we saw our first crocus in bloom and the forsythia at the end of the driveway was boasting yellow too.

We came home on Monday morning and the grass around our condo is greener, but most of the trees are still just biding their time. Few leaf buds showing at all.

But temperatures were in the 60's and the sky - the sky was magnificent. It was what I think of as a Midwest sky - you can see it for miles, blue and filled with puffy white clouds marching overhead. It was breezy so the clouds moved past quickly. It was beautiful! And hopeful….spring is coming to Wisconsin. Yes….it is!
