Brisk and breezy
This is what it looked like this afternoon at our favorite overlook. No s#%@ here, but plenty of Weather. (There was snow and sleet over in Alba and down in Cadillac and up and down I-75. I’m glad I decided not to go to Detroit for Mother’s Day. I’m glad Joanne and Tom are resting peacefully […]

Noisy wedding receptions and a Special Hearing on May 13
May 8, 2010
OK, here’s the deal. Everyone who reads Torch Lake Views who is likely to care about the matter already knows about the Great A-Ga-Ming Wedding Reception Controversy. It has dragged on now for more than two years, and a great many of us are heartily sick of the whole thing. That does not mean that […]

May 7, 2010
Since it seems determined to s#%@ tonight, I headed over to Farrell Road to inspect Bob Haack’s nut orchard. I’d had an email from Bob saying that the chestnuts were leafing out, and that one of his heartnuts was flowering for the first time. I wanted to capture it before Mama Nature pitched her hissy-fit.

This raises the troubling question, what of Joanne and Tom, who are on their way here on their bicycles? Will they wish they had packed YakTrax? Not to worry. […]

Stinging woodchips in the liverwort garden
May 5, 2010
Look deeply enough into the personal lives of other life forms and you’re likely to come away amazed, bitten, or both. I’ve been captivated—or who knows, maybe the word I want is captured—by the aliens of Tiny World, otherwise known as my accidental liverwort garden. It had been awhile since my last visit to the liverworts, […]

Spring meanders
May 4, 2010
Come along with us for a little stroll. We’re convalescing and wish to be peaceful. I forget what we were doing in Elk Rapids, which is a little worrying, but we stopped off at the Birch Lake rest area on our way home and made good use of the facilities. We don’t usually spend a […]
