Spring in Northern Michigan

The snow melts, the ground thaws, the days grow longer, the temperature rises and spring is here. The flowers come up from the ground, the trillium blanket the woods, and morels are just asking to be picked.

The bikes and the golf clubs are dusted off. Boots change to walking shoes. A perfect beach day sneaks in between two chilly days. Northern Michigan appreciates spring after a long winter and as the grass begins to turn green, shop keepers and hotel owners are sprucing up their places of businesses. Another season is about to begin!
