U-pick delights in Antrim County
It was an odd winter, an even odder spring, and who knows what summer will bring? Still, this is a great weekend to load the kids in the car and head out to pick the fine fruit of Antrim County. I was over at King Orchards on M-88 on Wednesday taking pictures. The new little […]
A treeful of orchids and snow in June
June 24, 2010
Katherine sent a lovely photo and wrote: This is a very large tree with these beautiful flowers on it and I don’t know the name of it. I thought maybe you would. There are several around the Eastport area and I think they are just wonderful . . . As it happens, I do know […]
A certain shade of green
June 12, 2010
It is a rainy Saturday and I am recovering from last night’s adventures. There I was, deep in books and papers and long tangly online searches, when everything grew very, very quiet. This is always a bad sign around here. I looked up and saw that the sky was a certain shade of green. Those […]

Petoskey Stone Festival adds new events
May 27, 2010
This Saturday, May 29, half of Antrim County will head over to Barnes Park to eat roasted corn and BBQ and elephant ears. We’ll browse vendor booths for handcrafted jewelry and polished Petoskeys. We’ll hunt for the Fabulous Fossil down on the beach. If it gets warm enough, we’ll even go splashing into the Bay. […]
Sunday Morning on Grand Traverse Bay
May 23, 2010
Back when I had television and conventional weekends, I enjoyed watching CBS Sunday Morning. I especially loved the segment at the end, the quiet video essay that took us somewhere out on the land and let the birdsong and windrustle and shadowplay tell the story. There’s nothing here you haven’t seen before—except maybe the ladybug […]
