Looking for Spring in all the Wrong Places!

I've been looking for spring in all the wrong places. Even though the past week was called "Spring Break", I saw very little evidence of it. Finally today I realized I've just been wrong in my approach! I'm using Five for Five to show you some of the places I've looked and failed at finding my beloved friend, Spring!

1.  I looked locally. My girls and I went to feed ducks. We found a most unusual duck, but we didn't find Spring!

A Melanistic Mallard Duck! A melanistic animal is like the opposite of albino!

2. I looked around the house for Spring, but only found Easter eggs!

Of course it's an owl!

3. I looked for Spring in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. What was I thinking? We get a lot of snow where I live. A lot! Nothing prepared me for the amount of snow I saw in Houghton Michigan, home of the Michigan Tech Huskies! Look at all this snow...

There was at least a foot of snow covering the ground.

I really wouldn't want to drive here in the winter, or spring!

4. Maybe I could find Spring in one of the shops downtown. Chickadee Jubilee would love this place! I love it too, but no spring found here!

5. I finally found Spring. She was in the loveliest places I know...A book! I love the bright pictures and feeling of spring that I get from Kevin Henkes, My Garden. What a great book to share with my Owlets after our break. The Book Fairy will be leaving this awesome book  in the classroom for us! I've made a freebie that goes along with this book and you may get it HERE.

Thanks for the Link-Up Casey! It gives me something to think about all week long!
