It’s raining lovely rain
Practically everywhere in the Township is within view of a largish body of water, so it’s odd to see puffs of dust as we drive sandy two-tracks, or to hear the crunch of dry leaves as we walk along the lane behind the Writing Studio and Bait Shop. That’s the way it’s been for much […]
Visiting the bees at Good Nature Orchards
May 24, 2009
About a week ago I ran into Ken Kamp at the market and asked him how things were going at his Good Nature Orchards. Were his bees able to warm up enough to get out to work at their pollination jobs? No problem, he told me. He put up shelters around the hives. Really, I said. […]
Culture clash in the Peaceable Kingdom
May 23, 2009

May 19, 2009

I recommend you go look at them. Second, dmarks captured a Traverse City dog team with, er, training wheels. You really should go […]
Birds and a haircut, two bits
May 18, 2009
Off to Barbara for a haircut Saturday morning and found a bonus: a couple of killdeer browsing in the grass out front. We watched them through the window and speculated whether they have a nest nearby or were simply out shopping. One of the pair was splashing about in the wet grass with glee. A […]
