March shall never be taken for face value by this gent, despite those dreary wet days trying so hard to veil the harbingers of spring, the tiniest of hope will burst forth at the woods edge.  March, the dual personality month, cannot decide what the barometer will read daily. Fortunately, If one is lucky enough to stumble upon a grand old patch of bloodroot in the wood, one would know that spring is so close at hand.  Like us all, these little gems can hardly wait for the last throws of slushy snowfall to be over to fully welcome the dawn of the new season in Michigan.

Our snowbird friends, still firmly roosting in the south, miss out on one of Michigan’s most magical times of the year; this early emergence of spring waking in the greater wild around us.  It is this in-between time that the cleverest of magic is spun.  The harbingers of the northern spring entice the last thaw. From frozen realms of ice and glacial snowpack, the buds begin to swell on the trees, birds practice their arias to love, and the air, although still crisp, holds tight to a faint sweetness.

Get outside, get closer to the nuances of March and feel the change coming!  The team at fleurdetroit welcomes March and all of you! Be kind to yourself, there is so much beauty in each season to enjoy.
