Rolling into spring
Yesterday morning we all had spring fever. Down to the beach! There is nothing so exhilarating to the northern soul as trotting out into the day without coat, hat, gloves, boots . . . . ah, freedom. OK, it would have been better to wear boots. Anyway, we were all off leash for an hour or […]
A mountain in a swirl of sand
March 7, 2010
This morning Miss Sadie, the Cowboy and I decided that we were tired of tromping around the same old paths in the snow. After awhile, there is nothing new to see or sniff and that makes us grumpy. Off to the beach then, in the pale dawn, all blue shadows and mist. It struck me […]

For those of you who missed it, probably because you’re in Florida or Arizona for the winter, this is your chance to catch up. Jack Norris of Torch Lake Township has researched this issue […]
Warm enough to snow, cold enough to blow
January 11, 2010
Mama Nature is at it again. Hard to decide, isn’t it, whether to wish for clear, sunny winter days that freeze your glasses to your face or for a little warm-up that, inevitably, leads to more snow. Not that it matters what we wish, I’m just saying. Colder or warmer, dogs must be walked, and […]
