Letters from Babs: Blessed with winter
Babs writes: We are still being blessed with winter and lots of cold. The sun has been shining, but the temps are low, it’s down around 5º tonight. But with the bitter cold comes clear light and an exhilaration I never feel in summer. (I can hear Jack Bodis grousing all the way here. “More […]
Three Winter Tales
March 1, 2009
Saturday was the kind of winter day that makes me glad to live here in spite of everything. After struggling with Scott Thomas’s assignment (a photo that would tell a story), I found three.

I’m not sure these blankets really keep these guys/gals warm, but it looks good to passersby. [Ed. 2/23/09: Managed to […]
Sneaky Snake and Fossils
February 22, 2009
If you look at things the right way, you have many more adventures than you might otherwise. The other day, for example, Miss Sadie, the Cowboy and I were strolling along the beach when we saw a Sea Serpent making its way toward Grand Traverse Bay. We thought it might be Sneaky Snake, beloved of […]
