Today, There Is Hope!

According to some people, one of the advantages of living in Michigan is the distinct change of seasons and I was recently reminded of this while raking at the church.

You see, the raking was scheduled for the Saturday before Easter so the lawn and parking lot would look clean and welcoming without the build-up of gray sludge and snow-blown paper. Typical for Michigan, we received another 9 inch snowfall the night before our planned "yard party" which covered blooming daffodils and obviously put the kabash on the lawn raking.

Also typical for this area within two weeks the ground was clear, warm and temperatures hovered around 70 degrees (tropical compared to -30 of winter) allowing us to get the yard cleared and ready for a beautiful summer!

So, while some of us grumble through the ice and snow of a Michigan up north winter - the harsh weather of winter only serves to make spring all the sweeter!

With Summer being our prime focus right about now - stop by Jori-Marks Home for terrific items for summer fun including a beach umbrella, garden umbrella, three styles of buffet warming trays, and several different styles of BBQ tools.
