Friday marked the first day of spring and because of that LSSU held their 39th annual burning of the snowman. This event marks the end of winter with a hopeful coming of spring. The Upper Peninsula doesn't look very spring-like right now but Yooper Yarns caught some beautiful pics on Friday outside her place near Newberry.
Once spring comes the snow disappears very quickly. I've always found that early spring seems to be the time of year when there is the most difference in weather between the UP and the rest of the state. We are very spring-like here in Caledonia. People are working hard in their yards, the early spring bulbs are emerging and the wind has a warmth to it we haven't felt in many months.
Wednesday is the opening of the Locks and the shipping season. That is the real sign of spring to me. Anyone know what ship may be the first to lock through this year? I don't know but would appreciate hearing from readers who may go to the Soo for the big day or have a source to know about what ships are out there. Thanks, Brenda

I'm so looking forward to spring! I like going for walks outside and doing outdoor activities.
Thanks for stopping by by blog. They still have lots of snow in the Sault but it is melting fast. So it won't be long before they can call it spring there.
