At first I thought it was just me, but no, it was foggy outside my head. Everyone else could see it too. That was a relief. The weather on Friday was pleasantly springlike, but we drifted from mist to fog to trance. The woods behind the Writing Studio and Bait Shop were dewy when we set off for our walk.
Long skeins of fog rolled across Torch Lake at mid-morning.
Mist lingered over Grand Traverse Bay into the afternoon. Can you see the gulls? Well, I couldn’t either, but Miss Sadie and the Cowboy could, and they had a wonderful time chasing them along the stony point.
Clouds drifted down the bluff too. It was all very refreshing–sort of like a spa with a high coolness factor.
A person can go into a regular trance on a day like that, right up until Whoa!! Beyond this point there might be almost anything.
Well. Sun’s out. Let’s go see.

That layer of fog over the water contrasts beautifully with the sharp image of the tall pine on shore. I love a foggy day and the illusion it gives me that time is standing still. (Ha!) Now, Sunday evening, the temperature has plummeted after a summery-feeling day, and it looks like a storm is coming our way.

I can hear very distant thunder rolling and rolling. I’ll bet it’s right about over you right now. And that means . . .
Nuts.

The fog this weekend was captivating, and with the red lightning flashes tonight reflecting off of Torch Lake (we were on the east side looking westward). Hope the hail didn’t damage anything over your way!

Wait, wait – red lightning? Nope. Here we had that green sky that never bodes well. You guys must have been at the Dockside watching weather.
