Awwwwwwwww, Babs!
She’s outdone herself. Babs has been cavorting about in the spring sunshine with lambs and llamas and, and . . . awwwwwww! Looky here. She wrote: It appears to be time for spring lambs. This was taken at the farm just south of Atwood near Antrim Dells. Gerry Sell may know who the owner is […]

Mooned by a bee
May 3, 2009
In the beginning, there is the blossom. The blossom is all potential. Fulfillment comes only when the bees come. The bees are back. Jim King said I could wander around in the orchard behind his house, where there are boxes of Dan DeKorne’s bees and rows and rows of trees flowing over the ridges. It’s […]

The Arnfields were […]

Happy May Day – and Buy Indie Day too
May 1, 2009
I saw the first cowslips of the year on my way to Elk Rapids this morning. I forgot the camera and I was running late anyway, so you’ll have to be content with last year’s pictures. The cowslips look exactly the same this year. They cheered me up tremendously. Happy May Day. I am reliably […]

Postcard from California: A gray day in LA
April 30, 2009
You know how postcards sometimes don’t ge mailed, and find their way to the lining of your suitcase, to be discovered only the next time you’re packing? This postcard is one of those. So today, a gray morning in northern Michigan, I pulled it out of the lining, cleaned it up a little, and sent […]
