Mama Nature will have her little jokes
We have taken a vote. We demand relief, in the form of Spring. Nothing less will do. Small irritations are magnified by their accumulation. The hourly pile of snowfall has turned to a daily dusting. Pretty in the woods. But I am tired of sweeping the steps. The racket of the kitchen faucet splashing away day after day–this in […]
Taking the long view
March 10, 2014
Babs Young’s house is perched right on the shore of Torch Lake (on the west side, which the Blue Heaven Crowd will tell you is the best side). This, along with a little vacation in Key West, accounts for her cheerful view of the winter of 2013-2014. On Tuesday she looked out her window as Mama Nature raised […]

At least there’s plenty of parking
March 3, 2014
Now this is something snowbirds don’t see very often. Babs Young was down in Elk Rapids early last Thursday and captured a view of River Street bare of traffic. You can tell that I was not down there, as there is no one parked in front of the Sweet Shop, where they sell bear claws […]

Drop dead gorgeous
March 2, 2014
It’s been a quiet week in Torch Lake Township. That is because we are all frozen solid. On Thursday I had to give up and order another tank of propane. That night Miss Sadie and the Cowboy were utterly uninterested in a nice walk under the stars. Two minutes flat and we were back inside […]
