Spring time is definitely showing her colors in northern Michigan. The only evidence of a by gone winter, are several dirty, grungy hills of snow scattered here and there around the village that were piled sky high during the winter snowfall. These piles have shrunk to just smallish heaps....a distant memory of the powdery white stuff falling from the sky in December and January.
The tri~colored waters of the bay are sparkling in their glory as the warming sun hits just right. It is a sight I never grow tired of viewing. I'm just waiting in anticipation to see the marina slips beginning to fill up with every size sailing boat ~ a sure sign that others are also thinking of warmer days ahead.
The quietness of the village during the winter is always a welcome respite from the busyness of the summer and fall. But now it's time for the tourists to return and the bustling village to re~awaken as well, to welcome all who journey to our "up north paradise" that we have the luxury of calling home.
Spring is a time of renewal and hope for the gardener's heart. As I peer out my windows I see evidence that there will soon be rebirth in my own quiet, sleeping garden. The tulips and lilies are already beginning to poke up through the ground. Once the leaves are cleared away on all the beds, it's like uncovering a hidden treasure to see what and where the flowers will appear. It's such an awesome thing to behold as the garden wakes up and becomes alive again. I can't wait.
We've been blessed here at the Korner Kottage Bed and Breakfast to have had a busy winter with guest rooms filled beyond expectations for every month of our so called "off season". People definitely have found our special little place in the world....and have kept us busy all winter long. We are so thankful that we can share our home with others who want to explore and experience the Leelanau area and all it has to offer.
Come and see us. We think you will love it here as we do.... www.kornerkottage.com
