A treeful of orchids and snow in June
Katherine sent a lovely photo and wrote: This is a very large tree with these beautiful flowers on it and I don’t know the name of it. I thought maybe you would. There are several around the Eastport area and I think they are just wonderful . . . As it happens, I do know […]
Signs you must be Up North
June 23, 2010
I got home after a long day in what has already been a long week–and here it is only Wednesday night!–and Katherine had kindly painted the fence. She writes: Love people’s inventiveness (is that even a word?) I was turning around to go to a garage sale I missed when I saw this sign on […]

June 13, 2010

A view of Torch from the porch – Peterson’s to re-open
June 5, 2010
Today on my way to the Artist Reception at Sonny’s I saw activity at Peterson’s. Doors open. Vehicles in the parking lot. Tim Peterson’s vehicle in particular. This looked promising. I stopped in. Tim was there, along with a bunch of familiar staffers, fluffing the place up for a private party on Sunday. He said […]
