The weekend was perfect, wasn’t it? I have lots to tell you about Saturday, but no time to write, so I’ll just show you what I was up to on Sunday. If these images don’t persuade you that it’s still summer, there’s just no hope for you.
I had a nice cruise on Torch Lake in the Amphibious Avocado, courtesy of Wilkinson Homestead volunteer John Sala.
Over on the other side of the Township, Barnes Park Manager Eileen Wallick was varnishing picnic tables. I think her job is sort of like being a Mom in charge of a particularly large and unruly family. There’s a lot of housework involved.
It was a perfect day to walk the Barnes trails, where wildflowers are going to seed.
Finally, you knew there’d be another sunflower, didn’t you? They’re blazing away in the gardens in front of the Park headquarters cabin.
Still summer, I tell you. Still summer.

Yes, it is, and nothing is crowded, and no one is frantic. Sigh! I didn’t tell you, Gerry, but we stopped on Sonny’s on our way north on Labor Day for coffee, donuts and apples. To me it felt like a pilgrimage to Gerry’s Torchlake View world.

That reminds me of a T-shirt I saw at the Eastport Market: “I live in my own little world . . . but it’s all right. They know me here.” I’m glad you stopped at Sonny’s. I’m sorry I wasn’t there having breakfast with Babs. Think how much fun THAT would have been!

Yes, I think we have to make sure that the next time PJ comes through the Township she will be COMPELLED to let us know.
