Hud Drenth's Dream Team

This post has been waiting to be finished since March of 2013. It began, as good ideas so often do, with a wonderful photo by Babs Young. Those are Belgian draft horses, bred for strength (and also, I’m inclined to think, character).  Good horses have played an important role Around Here for at least 150 years.  […]

OK, I think I got that wrong.  I’ve been out of town—without Miss Sadie and the Cowboy—and I’m forgetting everything.  Hold on.  Hogmanay.  That’s it.  Happy first day of Hogmanay.  The photos have nothing to do with Hogmanay, but they will catch you up on various things.  Consider them a garnish. I learned the word (Hogmanay-try […]

So then I got to thinking about what a satisfactory weekend it had been, braided with friends and small adventures, […]

Breakfast at the Torch Lake Cafe Saturday – You come too.

As everyone Around Here knows by now, Chris and Sonny divided the Torch Lake Market in two and put both sides up for lease. Then they went on vacation. All winter snow piled up in the parking lot and I mourned. However. On Saturday morning at 8 am the Torch Lake Cafe will reopen. I […]

Hecate and the Oscars lend a touch of warmth

February 25, 2013

Time for the weekly Michigan Picture from Babs – and she is bored with snow. Enough winter pictures, she writes. This is Hecate waiting to watch the Oscars. I expect Hecate was somewhat disdainful of most of the hoopla. She probably approved of Ang Lee’s Best Director award for Life of Pi–although it would be […]
