“It’s snowing still,” said Eeyore gloomily. “So it is.” “And freezing.” “Is it?” “Yes,” said Eeyore. “However,” he said, brightening up a little, “we haven’t had an earthquake lately.” Looking at the weather in Michigan we can take an Eeyore or Tigger attitude. My favorite Pooh character is Eeyore having had to entertain the kids […]
Today will be a shock to many as our temps will cool into the 50s after a warm and humid weekend. After a possible bout of frost tonight in the counties north of Kent, Ottawa and Ionia we will warm things back up, however the weather pattern will become more active once again Tuesday night […]
First off – prayers for my grandson, James who was involved in a hit and run Friday. He and one of his friends were walking to the library in Allegan when a car hit them. They went to the hospital with bruises and scrapes but are otherwise fine though a bit sore – the driver […]

According to folklore The period from May 12 to May 15 was noted to bring a brief spell of colder weather in many years, including the last nightly frosts of the spring. In Poland and the […]

We may be entering a more entertaining weather pattern today, i.e. if you are fascinated by storms, winds and hail with flashes of lightning and rumbles of thunder. The lack of severe weather over the past few years has been frustrating for Skywarn and storm chaser participants, or a sigh of relief for most others […]
I would say that yesterday was absolutely perfect weather-wise. I dug out a new garden and planted the tomatoes, peppers and onions. I have been gardening for 40 years and enjoy the work involved knowing that the fruit of my labors will produce tasty fresh vegetables. The need to play in the dirt and grow […]
We are finally entering a period of warmer temperatures. I would say it is safe to put away the snow shovels and drag out all the tools of spring. I already have my front lawn whipped into shape, the backyard is another story as the dogs tend to make a mess of things. I have […]
Though it has been cooler than normal the trees and other foliage has greened up nicely over the past few days. The flowering trees are mostly in their prime and the animals and birds are in full frolic. We have a few Grosbeaks this year at our feeders and the hummingbirds are back. We have […]
Another annual celebration for those who raised us – my mother and mother in law are in their 80s and 90s respectively, members of the greatest generation who learned to survive with little or nothing with no complaint. They were both raised on farms so they probably did better than the city folk in regards […]
