Fresh snow, a perfect way to wake up on a sunny Michigan winter morning.
Fresh snow, a perfect way to wake up on a sunny Michigan winter morning.

Snowfall has been disappointing here in Grand Rapids, Michigan the last few years. However, last night made up for a lot of that. This is what we woke up to this morning. I broke our snowblower blasting away at the heavy, wet snow, but luckily my awesome neighbors came to the rescue and helped us out.

On another note, today I noticed that Grand Rapids, MI was named the number one city to raise a family in the United States by Forbes Magazine… and ArtPrize was recently named one of the “Top 5 Festive Events in the World that You Don’t Want to Miss” by Time Magazine. It is so wonderful to see this state getting some love from the media.

Just beyond the dune, is the mighty Lake Michigan

I woke up. The sun was shining. And, it was deep freeze cold outside, so of course I decided to head to the lakeshore. On the way to Grand Haven, I was admiring the pretty blue sky, the wind whipped snow glittering on the vast fields of nothing and… what’s that in my rear view mirror? Why, it’s a jacked up truck tailgating me with a huge American flag mounted to the truck gate and flapping in the wind. Welcome to Michigan. You never know what to expect.
