Northern Michigan is definitely back in winter mode. How cold has it been? It’s been so cold we’ve put overcoats on the horses.  Babs writes: In case you were wondering we are still having winter.

Babs and I are both having a bad day, but we’re making do.  Here’s what she wrote: I took some pictures today and when I got home I realized I did not have a CF card in my camera so didn’t have a new one for this week. So I went into the recent archives […]

Letters from Babs: Ice boats are a-comin’ are a-comin’ are a-comin’ . . .

Babs has been keeping an eye on the ice on Torch Lake, so naturally she met some ice-boaters.  I have spoken to these people before (ERN: Hardwater sailors skim across Torch) and have determined that they are, to put it politely, utterly daft.
