Spring is really here!

Filed under: Leelanau, Photos — Molly @ 11:39 pm

Now that we are home from Merlefest it is truly spring.  The snow is all gone (which in itself seems like a miracle after this long, long winter we have had) and flowers have started to pop up.  The cherry trees are all in bloom.  It is a truly fabulous time to be in northern Michigan - particularly on the Leelanau Peninsula.  Shops are getting prepared for that first rush of visitors Memorial Day weekend.  Leland will be the starting point for the men's Tour de Leelanau bike race which has been moved to a much earlier date this year.  The rain is moving out and the sky cleared tonight in time for a beautiful sunset.  The forecast for the holiday weekend looks great!
