School has become more hectic, and I have been spending much more time outdoors lately so I have not been as diligent writing as I have been in the past.

Spring is slowly moving into the area and the smell of thawing soil abounds.

This time of year is usually not my favorite, but after that poor excuse of a winter I welcome the ability to actually have a season that does as it is supposed to.

On another note, I made my weekly trip to the REI Garage Sale yesterday and scored MAJOR!

New Smartwool socks; AND

A sweet JetBoil mug and canister stand for super cheap!

You've gotta love hitting it big on their garage sale!

Happy Saturday, go do something!

Soggy walk leads to beautiful discovery

After our fish last night we took a little stroll in the rain to the nearby Parker Mill Park.

It was nice to get out of the house and just take in spring with all of its musty smelling, slippery surfaced green glory!

We saw some Jack-in-the-Pulpits, Michigan Orchids and many other little bits of nature that one would not expect to see in the city.

Take a look!

I like this angle, it makes me feel like these little plants are much bigger than they really are.

Needless to say it was a welcomed escape.

Hope you enjoyed.
