Here we go again
The Weather Widget is glowing Advisory! and we’re in for it again. Might as well pull some bright bits and pieces out of the post pantry while the Writing Studio and Bait Shop sinks to its icicles in a black and white world. That cheerful offer appeared on the side of US-31 a couple of […]

Spiritual refreshment
February 18, 2009
I’ve been taking a lot of pictures of sacred spaces. I didn’t set out to do it. It just happened. There was the Wayside Chapel tucked into the post about Friske’s Market.

Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone who is tired of formal roses and winter
February 14, 2009
These wild roses were growing along the banks of the Grass River a few summers ago, as they have grown for many, many years, and as they will grow again this summer. A friend and I were headed to a boat ride with some Loon Rangers—but I digress. I’m fond of wild roses. They grow […]
