April is the cruelest month – so full of hope

April 12, 2008

April, April.  One day the sun comes out, snowmelt braids paths to the Bay, and we tell each other the corner has turned.  We make a trip to Pine Hill Nursery for seedlings we’ll have to tend indoors for weeks.  We leave our coats in the car. The next night it sleets.  We curse the […]

When I first started coming to Eastport I met Jane and Salo Suwalsky.  “You’ll like my mother,” Jane said when she learned I was a writer.  “She’s an illustrator.  Her name is Betty Beeby.”  That, I thought, is a great name.  I went to meet Betty, and began a whole series of adventures.

As I wander about the internet, dropping in on this site and that, I occasionally stumble into places that are particularly pleasant to visit.  When they include good stories or fine photos from the area around Grand Traverse Bay, or when they simply interest me for my own eccentric reasons, I add them to the […]
