Full bloom! Cherries in 60 days.
Babs writes: The cherry orchards are in full bloom, probably two to three weeks early. So if we don’t get a hard frost we will have cherries for the 4th of July. It has been an unusual spring. The “Blessing of the Blossoms” is usually planned for mid-May. This year it was cancelled when it […]

Road trip! Georgia peaches head to Blue Heaven on bicycles

They’ll make the trip up from Georgia on their bicycles. Meet Joanne and Tom. This is the 1600-mile trip they’ve just begun. They expect to arrive at Torch Lake between […]

Signs you might be Up North
April 28, 2010
The trilliums are in full bloom. Hundreds of them flow over the drumlins, staking their claim to the land. Cars and trucks with For Sale signs stuck in the windows sprout along the highway. Optimists polish up the family buggy, slap a price and a phone number on it, park it out front of the […]
Wild always wins
April 27, 2010
There is a saying in the north country, generally applied to encounters between domestic animals and denizens of the woods, but sometimes applied more broadly. Wild always wins. This means that no matter how fierce your Rottweiler (or my spaniel) may be, it will not win a fight with a coyote. Stand warned. I have come […]
