What a lovely morning. Little green buds are beginning to spring into life and it feels wonderful outside. The lovely rain the other day helped everything come back from their winter rest and with more rain expected over the next few days, we’ll be seeing more green every day. The best time of year for me. Spring is a delicious coming to life season and for too many years it’s come and gone barely noticed or been virtually non-existent – one day the dredges of winter, the next day everything is leafed out and it’s summer. Not this time around. This year we are blessed with exactly what spring is supposed to be.  I am so happy about it all.

We do seem to have four or five days of rain in our forecast – which may or may not become fact. The temperatures will drop back into the fifties later this week, but still and all, a nice stretch of weather will be ours.

What a glorious day! And to think it’s only the beginning of April. I’m loving this. I’m also seeing tiny green buds on the bushes out in my tiny backyard. Won’t be long, with a few more nice rains, that things will be nicely leafed out and green will be the color of my world. One of the best parts of living in Michigan is the varied and lovely shades of green we’re surrounded by in the summer. Fantastic. We are looking at a few more days with a chance of rain this week, so with pleasant temperatures also in the forecast for most of the week, let the greening begin!

A lovely rainy morning. Woke to the sound of thunder rumbling around and it was so soothing I evidently went right back to sleep. By the time I woke up again it was actually raining. Do you know how long it’s been since we’ve had a nice rainy morning? I’ll tell you. A long time. Got about .70″ in my rain gauge and for us, that’s a lot. Tomorrow should be a sunny day but the chance for rain comes back to us for several days after that. Wonderful. Hopefully out of the two or three days holding out the hope, at least one of them will deliver.

A lovely Easter Sunday. Sunshine and if not warm, at least comfortable temperatures. But my how things change…now it looks as if rain is in our forecast for the next three day. Really? I guess we’ll see. So far our called for rainy days have made calls on other places and left us more or less dry.

I hope your Easter is all you want it to be and your Easter weather nice to go along with it.

Currently 44 with an average wind from the SSE of 4 mph. Feels like 41 degrees. Dew Point 22, Barometer 30.13, Humidity 43%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:21 am, Sunset 8:10 pm.

Clear. Low in the mid 30s. W winds around 10 mph becoming light overnight.

Not terrifically warm this morning but it’s pretty and heading into the upper 50s close to 60 and tomorrow appears to promise us a 70 degree Easter. Quite good enough. A pleasant week ahead although we really as in need of rain. Might have a slight chance for that about mid-week but for now that opportunity doesn’t hold out much hope. The little green things trying hard to grow really could use some rain to help them lift from their winter hibernation. Wouldn’t a nice rainy day be pleasant? Not probably going to happen but it sound nice.

Currently 33 with an average wind from the SSW of 1 mph. Feels like 33 degrees. Dew Point 15, Barometer 30.53, Humidity 47%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:23 am, Sunset 8:09 pm.

Sunny with a high in the upper 40s. W winds around 10 mph.

Partly cloudy overnight with a low in the lower 30s. S winds 5-15mph with gusts to 25 in the evening.

Still chilly today but warming back up tomorrow to nearer where we want it to be. Better still on Easter Sunday. So we just need to get through this nippy day and move forward into Spring. A little set-back isn’t all that hard to take but knowing it’s only temporary makes it easier. Hopefully the nights of freezing temperatures are finished. The last couple of nights created a miniature skating rink of my bird bath. So onward to better and warmer days and night. Looking forward to it.

Currently 24 with an average wind from the W of 8 mph. Feels like 15 degrees. Dew Point 18, Barometer 30.35, Humidity 76%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:24 am, Sunset 8:08 pm.

Partly sunny this morning with a 20% chance of some snow flakes until about midday becoming mostly sunny. High in the upper 30s. N winds 10-20 mph with gusts to 30.

Clear overnight skies. Low 15-20.NW around 10 mph with gusts to 20 in the evening becoming light as the night continues.

Okay, so it’s the 1st of April, but when you step outside this morning you’re going to question that. Be sure to wear a warm jacket today – and probably tomorrow – but after that a warm up helps us think we’re really in the month of April. Dangerous to growing things cold is going to cover way too much of our nation tonight. Hard frost isn’t a good thing to hear when so many folks have flats and flats of beautiful growing flowers out on display. I’m sure there will be some serious hustling as covers of various sorts are hauled out and used to try and protect the tender growth. Unfortunately this isn’t an April Fool’s Joke – well, maybe on the part of Mother Nature who can be more than a tad inappropriate and unappreciated from time to time. This is one of those times.
