I’m dreaming of a white Christmas…

These days around the bed and breakfast, bits of green are popping through the snow.  Here in west Michigan, we have had quite a few days without much snow, and a few days of above freezing highs.  So the Michigan lake front and all of the surrounding Saugatuck area is now starting to see grass popping through in spots.  Unlike my native Iowa relatives, and just west of here in Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa where they are currently experiencing a rather lot of snow for their Christmas eve and Christmas weekend.
