It felt like spring @MeijerGardens this weekend. I got to practice my photography skills with some cooperative butterflies.

Between the elephant ear stand being outside the building for winter blast and Paczkis, it’s been a good week for employee retention. Happy Paczki Day!

I get ice updates instead of snow totals… 🥶 It is so hard to know how far north I need to drive to go snowshoeing.
Great Lakes ice update for February 1, 2023: Combined 13% | Lake Superior 10% | Lake Michigan 13% | Lake Huron 19% | Lake Erie 12% | Lake Ontario 3% | #GreatLakes

in response to the 1,786 voters who said Yes, here’s a recent contribution by inspector Tess Walsh. a culvert walk along a Rocky River trib near a project of ours. typical inspection but the seepage and stains have resulted in a cascade of color. old pipe, new perspective.

I love local government magic like this! Dedicated employees who take the time to respond to a young resident inquiring about a unicorn license is exactly the kind of thing I love to see! 🦄
