Michigan has its good points. Spring is one of them. I think it's because winter is so long that spring sort of plops right on top of you. Cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, warm....
The snow disappears and one week later it is sunny and 65. That's cool for Florida, but very pleasant for the thick-blooded northerners. Suddenly the air is filled with the sound of 2-cycle engines. Mold covered vegetation is spewed skyward in fine, invisible mists. Nasal passages swell, but not with pride. Eyes water over, but not with emotion. Spring has arrived... and so have the house-bound inhabitants. The furnace barely runs now; neither does the air-conditioner. The furnace, electronic air filter is useless. But utility bills plummet just in time to pay the taxes that are due.
Michigan does have its good points. Ah, springtime!
