Mama Nature’s little jokes

August 4, 2009

I fell asleep reading Jerry Dennis’s Heart of the Great Lakes—it’s lively, but I’m not—and woke up befuddled and buzzing.  Wait, wait . . . the buzzing was outside my head.  The Cowboy was staring at the wall with a bemused expression.  GACK!  This fellow was on the wall.  A good two inches long and […]

Dreaming of summer Up North
