Crazy weather we've been having in Upper Michigan

Bouncing from the 50's and high 40's down to the 20's. One day it's warm and the snow is gone and the next day it's cold and snowing. It's below freezing now and the lawn is covered with snow. 95% chance of snow/rain today. The forecast for tomorrow is cloudy with temps in the low 50's.

Was looking at the lawn yesterday and thinking that I'm going to have to mow the yard soon. Then it snowed. I'll have to get the snow shovel out later this morning and shovel clean the back porch and steps.

It's 34, right now. Going up to to maybe 55. It was supposed to do that, yesterday, but we never even hit 50. Tomorrow? In the 80's. By Friday we will be back in the 50's. Oh well. As long as the nighttime temperatures stay above freezing. I want to transplant some of the herbs I started from seed out to the front herb garden.

I'll probably bundle up and start to get some mowing done, today since there are thunderstorms in the mid-week forecast and those warm temps will re-ignite the grass growth.

So, typical Michigan weather.

We've rented a cabin on Hubbard lake for the week. Fishing and yard sales, my two favorite things to do.
