. . . and while we’re on the subject of spring
Pine Hill isn’t the only place getting ready for spring. If you want to start dreaming about summer bounty, read about John King’s seed order and the prospect for U-pick raspberries and cherries at King’s US-31 market. The plans at Pine Hill and King Orchards renew my sense of optimism. If John can plant raspberry canes […]
Psst – Pine Hill is open to friends, neighbors, and readers of Torch Lake Views. OK, and to anyone who stops in and says hello. I think it’s spring.

Saturday was a pretty day for a drive, and I had company, so off we went – breakfast at Sonny’s, a little shopping at Stuff ‘n’ Such in Elk Rapids, some picture-taking along the Bay – and a visit to Pine Hill Nursery on our way back to the Writing Studio and Bait Shop.
Atwood the Adorable has New York Cakes but Eastport the Exquisite has the pastry chefs
March 9, 2008

Just in case you can’t read the sign through all that white stuff that was swirling around, or don’t believe your […]
Broadband in the woods and drumlins?
February 20, 2008
Gee I wish I could get really good cellphone coverage at the Writing Studio and Bait Shop. That way I could take phone calls while waiting for my slow dialup to load a web page. Hmmm. There seems to be a pattern here. Much as I love technology, it seems that it is financially unrewarding […]
You’re invited to Saturday Business Coffee
February 17, 2008

They’ll continue a conversation begun in January (see In Business: A view to growth) about ways to enhance the business climate in the township. Members of the […]
