Day 112:Springtime in Northern Michigan

It's Springtime in Northern Michigan, where you start the morning off at 30 some odd degrees, and it warms up to the mid 50's. I thought it was still at little chilly out, and I'm sure I over did it with wearing coats......and the hat on Kwin. Kwintyn, & I spent a few hours outside today. I did a lot of raking, and Kwin did a lot of playing. Sarge was enjoying laying in the sun, and being able to be outside for a while. Maggie had surgery today, she got spayed, and micro chipped today. My poor Mag Pie!! She's thinking "Spay & neuter your pets......Screw you, Bob Barker!!" lol I was hoping Spring wouldn't be here when we got her spayed, but we couldn't get her in earlier, so poor Maggie will have to wait to enjoy her first Spring. While we were outside we saw a butterfly!! The snow has melted SO much in the past week!! I truly didn't think it would melt this fast!! I took a photo of a spot last year, and there was still a bit of snow.  The photo was for Earth Day, and I wanted to take another picture of the same spot this year, but it was raining. But this year, there was no snow in that spot, which really surprised me since we got a lot more snow this year, than last. Kwin saw that Sarge was enjoying basking in the sunshine, so he sat down in a chair, and asked for his drink. Made me laugh because I thought of an adult on the beach somewhere sitting just like this with a drink in hand, enjoying their Spring break. LOL I also spotted a seed that had just popped through the earth. I of course had to stop & take a picture of it's beauty. I am such a nature nerd!! I had to change my pants because I was on the ground trying to get a good shot. Not the best shot I was hoping for, but I like what I got. :)
