It is bitterly cold here in Michigan. The lake is once again frozen over except for this small area (that also seems to have frozen over now).
Swans flew in while I was gone this morning. I went home quickly to grab a camera...and there they were!
It began to snow last night. A beautiful, wet snow. A perfect time to take a pic of these buildings waiting for spring. The corn crib was just brought in and set upright. The barn was roofed by the Amish and waits.... The outhouse is on its side...waiting.
Awoke to a thin covering of snow which meant, on the ponds in the village, snow rested on the frozen area.
On my way home from work, I found this couple who began to walk very gingerly on the thin portions of the ice, headed for the open water.

Raining today. 20 degrees on Monday, 50 degrees today. The lake is mostly water. The basketball if gone. Yes, maybe he went off with Trike somewhere. Too grey and rainy for a pic of the lake but Saturday's search for spring yielded a picnic waiting to happen in a sunny spot. Of course, being Michigan, more snow is expected. And that's OK!
As the sun and leaves do their work on the icy lake, I am thinking the local muskrat just comes and goes on his very own pathway of water. I love this spot.

In the autumn, it was suggested that I should share with the squirrels...so I gently took the pumpkins off the porch and let nature do its work. The result - no squirrels, just a photo. That's OK.

I saved the photos for the next 3 nights until the ice was frozen over enough to fish once again. To my delight, a lone ice fisherman was on the lake this morning so I knew I could share the process captured a couple of weeks ago.
First: walk carefully onto the ice, use the auger to determine if the ice is 2-3 inches thick. If you are still standing, not swimming, use the auger to enlarge the fishing hole. Then catch dinner. Beautiful swans may be nearby.
All is grey and unexciting until magic strikes the air and basketballs go dancing on ice, trains pass by. It's not so grey after all...waiting for spring.
Huge sugar maples line this road. Approximately 25-30 of them had these blue bags for collecting sap. Usually in Michigan this can be seen in February-March as the nights are freezing or below, the days warmer.
Once collected, the sap is boiled endlessly, it seems - often in huge vats outside, the fuel source being wood. It takes a tremendous amount of work collecting, boiling down and bottling for just a pint of that delicious stuff.
Note that the bags seem to be every which way - it was so windy last evening that I was almost blown into the farmer's field. It was fun - really!
For a few hours today it was warm (55 degrees) and sunny. Then the wind picked up, in rolled the clouds and it was time once again for winter coat and gloves. In the meantime, there is much to see and enjoy while waiting for warmth. I hear the muscrats were present at the lake, the basketball was not.
WHEN THINGS DON'T GO YOUR WAY- #REALTALK- August 14, 2016.
I wanted to share my thoughts on something I been going through lately- and it's about "when things don't go your way."
I hope this message helps some of you guys out. Sometimes it's just a matter of hearing it from someone else, we already have answers, we just need that extra support. Life is out of our hands- no matter how much we try, but what we can do, the only we can do... Is our best.
If you guys got any questions don't be afraid to shoot me up a message!

Once a spot is chosen, the ice fishermen seem to make themselves at home. This one had brought out a sled full of stuff. Wish I could have gotten closer but I am NOT going on that ice.
This was taken a couple of weeks ago but even this morning they were fishing. By afternoon all that was left were the holes and chunks of ice. I hope everyone showed up at home or work where they were supposed to be.
It's time to get serious. Up goes the tent - it must have been one of the items on the sled. The wind does get bitterly cold out there.
When the winter is cold for an extended period of time, sometimes wooden ice shanties are there for weeks.
This winter, somewhat mild, saw tents up usually just for a portion of a day.
Just like the ice on the nearby lake thaws, cracks and re-freezes, so does the earth here. In fact, that is how those large field stones eventually work their way to the top of the farmer's field.
This was on a day when the earth thawed...now it is snowing tonight. Typical March see-saw here.
Although this was taken a couple of weeks ago, Michigan remains frozen in time until warmth returns. So a photo taken in December can look exactly the same today. How convenient!
It was getting quite dark on my walk to the lake but I tried the shot anyway. The lake is all water now. How quickly the ice melted away. Swans and ducks were flying by. Red winged blackbirds were talking for the first time today as were the robins. Yet I was still wearing 4 layers, thick gloves and it was chilly. Soon warmth...maybe tomorrow.
In Michigan it can be quite sunny but biting cold as was the case here. Yet the sunshine beckoned me to the out-of-doors anyway.
A portrait of a windowsill friend. Rain, snow, freezing rain today. Not unusual. Year after year it does this tug of war until after March 21. Then by April 23, there is green lace in the trees. Waiting....
As the winds picked up tonight, a huge limb fell off of a tree, smashing into the back half of a vehicle as it was being driven down the street. Emergency personnel and vehicles quickly arrived to help.
To soften the feeling of calamity here, because many of you expressed concern for this person, I would like to add:
"Whenever we are faced with any calamity, we can come to stand in Your Presence where your Name is honored. We cry out to You to save us and you will hear and rescue us. II Chron 20:9
Although the lake is blue with ice, the marshes and fields are still browns and grays...waiting for some warmth.
Rain, freezing rain and snow are expected so waiting can be good, too.
