Happy May Day – and Buy Indie Day too
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 […]
Dear Summer People: It’s safe to come home now
April 29, 2009
All the ice is off Torch. All of it. I promise. Marc Anderson and the Dockworks crew have been putting in docks all over the place. See the dock in the new banner up top? No more ice. Pine Hill Nursery is open and full of flowers. Smells good, too. There are cunning little catkins […]
Letters from Babs: Ice parts, revealing summer
April 20, 2009
Babs writes: Finally the ice parted at the north end of Torch Lake this week and the bottom was revealed through the clear cool water. The water looks pristine and ready for a good summer. Looks good, Babs. Miss Sadie, the Cowboy and I are coming back. Every week photographer Babs Young captures moments in […]

Lemon meringue pie, made from scratch with fresh-squeezed lemon juice. Progress continues at the Blue Pelican. On Tuesday a big yellow crane was lifting […]

You can find more of her photos by following the Babs Young Photos link in the Categories list over in the right column, or by going to her Michigan […]
Spring progresses – the good, the bad and the stinky
April 10, 2009
There were wild turkeys in the driveway when I got up this morning. One big tom strutted about in full display for the hens. Look at me I’m just so gorgeous. He was so comical I missed the photo but they’ll be back. Our walk took us into the drumlins behind the Writing Studio & […]
