Tahquamenon Falls
Yesterday we took Mike and Deb to the Upper Falls at Tahquamenon Falls State Park. It was a beautiful morning to be there. I’m really glad that we went early in the day. After seeing the falls we ate at Camp 33 where we easily were seated. When we left after lunch there was noContinue reading “Tahquamenon Falls”

There were also a few Palm WarblersContinue reading “The trees were dripping with myrtles!”
Justin Verlander
We’ve watched Justin Verlander pitch since his rookie year. We watched his growth in Detroit, were sad when he left and happy when he came back. I was excited to watch his pitch earlier in 2026, and was quite upset when he was injured. But yesterday we say a glimpse of the old Justin Verlander.Continue reading “Justin Verlander”
Tomorrow I should make pancakes
This BC cartoon reminded me that I haven’t make pancakes in awhile. Since we have maple syrup I think that I’ll do that tomorrow.
Some humor to get the week going
Ah yes, me and some of my friends. This one just made me laugh. That’s all, more later.
Erie Metropark Hawks
We spend part of the day yesterday at the Detroit River Hawk Watch in Erie Metropark which is in Wayne County, Michigan. I spent from 9 AM until noon watching hawks. I wan’t disappointed.

Here are a couple of photos that I used. Sunbitterns, a favorite tropical bird. Giant anteater withContinue reading “A talk about Brazil”
