There is something exciting about an early spring walk in Michigan. The snow is slowly melting away. Old bird friends are starting to call their welcome home songs. The cold air has a hint of the smell of fresh spring mud. Then if you look really close you can see the buds on trees growing every day, and the grass FEELS like it wants to grow.
As a parent, we also don’t have the full, deep mud that will come in a few weeks. It is great to have the kids be able to run around without worrying about ice. Snow can be fun, but ice always makes me nervous. If you don’t mind the chill, early spring is a great time of year to walk.
