Marquette Michigan

When the growing gets tough, the tough get weeding.

It Ain't Easy Being Green (with apologies to Kermit)

Life in the Upper Pennisula of Michigan is not for the weak of heart.....or roots. This Alllium giganteum last Friday was basking in 70 degree sunny weather. While the weather here is akin to a wild child on a see-saw, we did have the luxury of our abundance of snow this year slowly soaking into the ground. The temps have been vassilating between WoW! it's really spring & how much more of this eternal damnation must I endure. The ground was becoming very dry, however our local weather hero said "Fear ye not proud Yoopers (that's our colloquial handle, en masse), There is not but a 10% chance of a snowstorm to besige us this late in the spring. AMEN".
Apparent-LY, Heiki Lunta, our Snow God in residence became a little irate. We were nailed with over 10" of the sloppy white stuff a week later.
