To Northport and back without benefit of car ferry
Yesterday was a lovely May Day, perfect for a ride around the Bay and out the Leelanau Peninsula to Northport. We got to Dog Ears Books in time for the great re-opening and I came away with my prize, a copy of Ed and Connie Arnfield’s Roadside Guide to Michigan Plants, Trees and Flowers. The Arnfields were […]
Happy May Day – and Buy Indie Day too
May 1, 2009
I saw the first cowslips of the year on my way to Elk Rapids this morning. I forgot the camera and I was running late anyway, so you’ll have to be content with last year’s pictures. The cowslips look exactly the same this year. They cheered me up tremendously. Happy May Day. I am reliably […]
Babs has balmy weekend on Mackinac
April 26, 2009
Babs Young has been to Mackinac Island for the weekend and writes that “. . . it was a balmy 37º this morning. The Grand Hotel is always spring like, just not the weather.” Ah well. At least the evening light was gorgeous, and we can hope the lilacs will bloom in May. Every week photographer […]

I know I will never run out of stories. Today we’re going to visit the Central Lake District Library, where you may […]
Can you bake a cherry pie?
March 7, 2009
I cannot bake a decent cherry pie. Fortunately Antrim County is full of people who can, and as soon as I find one of them who needs a job of writing done, my life will be perfect. Meanwhile . . . Last Saturday Friske Orchards in Atwood held its 6th Annual Cherry Recipe contest. This […]
Daytrips in Northern Michigan: Jordan River Cruise
February 21, 2009
On Thursday I had a little adventure with a couple of old friends (and some new ones, too). We piled into a rubber raft and cruised down the Jordan River. I can hear you now. What were you thinking??? Well, this is what comes of spending long months in the north country in winter. Getting […]
