Unexpected mercies
I’d resigned myself to finding no morels this year when POP! – there they were this morning, great big ones. I cannot account for them, but I’m glad for them and have them soaking in salted water. There were new wildflowers, too, including the first tiny blooms on the wild geranium. There’s a lot of […]

Some days you get the bear, some days . . .
June 17, 2009
I ran into Jim Gainey at the Eastport Market. Would I like to see who came to visit his side yard on East Torch Lake Drive? I suspected I would. He whipped out his cellphone and showed me The Bear Who Came to Dinner. Naturally I obtained a copy for you. The Bear was employed […]

June 16, 2009
Out and about on a warmish sunny day it was hard to miss the bright irises blooming all around the township.

Central Lake en fete
June 14, 2009
We finally got a nice, warm, sunny, summer day. Central Lake was full of people admiring the entries in the 6th Annual Collector Car & Truck Show. Also yours truly and the Disreputable Duo, who behaved badly and will not be taken to such an event again, but the less said about that the better. […]

Letters from Katherine: A fine lady slipper
June 14, 2009
This from Katherine in this morning’s email: It seems that I am in a rut. A flower rut or rather a flower picture rut. But after last winter it’s so nice to see color I can’t help it. Not as exciting as a burning semi but…it is a fine lady slipper. I don’t know about […]
