Dreaming of summer (SWF)

I don't know what the weather's like where you are, but we've been having some yo-yo weather lately. Cold. Warmer. Warm! Cold. Really cold. Warm! Ugh!!!! I've got spring fever in a big way!

This time of year, I actually start getting so antsy for better, warmer, sunnier weather, that I skip ahead in my mind and start dreaming about summer!

I'm tired of wearing layers, tired of wearing long-johns and hats and scarves and boots. I want to wear shorts and Tevas! I wanna go paddling in my kayak, dang it!

Oh look, Dave's inviting us all to go for a paddle! I'll be right there honey!

All photos taken last summer during our time on Walloon Lake, Walloon, MI.

Glimpses of clear sky (SWF)

During the worst of our recent ice/snow storm, blue sky was a welcome sight in the midst of so much greyness. Even though there was snow and ice everywhere, it all looked kind of dull and washed out due to the cloudy sky.

The sky was actually kind of hard to see through all of the ice and snow-encrusted branches now hanging so low.

Some of the gentle giants in our wooded acres. I was sad to see all my trees so weighted down.

Ahhh, a break in the clouds. Fleeting, but lovely.

This is my first entry to Skywatch Friday. Don't know what Skywatch Friday is? Simply put, it is a place to enjoy Skies and views from all around the globe.
