Katherine’s chickadee
I’ve been watching little patches of blue float past and thinking how the little patches of sunlight that follow them cheer me right up. Then I opened my email. Katherine’s been watching the birds outside her window and musing about the spelling of gray—or grey. So. Black and white photo. Shades of gray, or grey, […]
And then it hailed
November 3, 2009
Katherine and her camera have been out and about in The Weather. She writes, It was a dark sky headed my way, then it hailed. Imagine standing there by the pond, framing a glowing autumn landscape under a flinty sky, and then realizing . . . Hail!
The water: Always the lake
October 19, 2009
Katherine has weighed in on Scott Thomas’s Water Assignment.* She writes: In between finding the last of the tomatoes, getting the garden ready for winter and walking the dog, there’s, always the lake. At times calm, serene, quiescent with the potential to tear boats from their moorings and destroy rafts. It’s another beautiful day in the neighborhood and […]
Cruise the Breezeway, leave the dishes for later
October 14, 2009

And look what Katherine saw: I hope that brilliant fall weather holds until Saturday, because the folks along the Breezeway invite you to a color cruise. Start just up the road […]
Letters from Katherine: Anger
September 28, 2009
The weather has turned. Rollers crash on the Lake Michigan beaches. Rain falls sideways. Roiling black clouds flew east across the drumlins today, dropping a rainbow on Owen McDowell’s woodlot and a lot of rain on Bayview Farm. John Sala said the harmonics from the halyards clanging against sailboat masts in the Elk Rapids harbor […]
Torch Lake dreams in the morning mist
September 19, 2009
This is such a lovely letter from Katherine. She writes: Got up early to go to work this morning and took the dog to the lake. Then had to go back to the house for the camera. This is what was going on. The lake was giving up some of its heat, in preparation for […]
