I just don’t understand non-morning people. Happy hour means a lot of eating and drinking. And a good IPA is worth it! I can remember driving and watching women put on makeup. At least there were phones in cars back then. So, where should they try Trump? Well, this explains a lot. Science, the lonelyContinue reading “Monday evening humor”

Went downtown this morning to meet Mike and Linda for breakfast. All of the trash from the past three days is being cleared after another highly successful Art Fair. But we were going to Zola for breakfast. As is typical Zola had it’s own wall of art, which is always interesting. After breakfast Susan andContinue reading “Day after Art Fair – 2023”

The heat from western North America is drifting east and should be in Michigan by Monday. Today it’s already 80F, but by Monday it will be in the 90sF. So how is the garden doing? The kale and green beans are growing like weeds. We have been eating fresh kale for weeks. And I amContinue reading “The garden is enjoying the heat”

Today we spent a beautiful morning at the Ann Arbor Art Fair which rambles throughout downtown Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus. There was no lack of diversity in art. I’ll have to admit that I am drawn to realistic animal art. Hey! It’s a realistic dragon. A whimsical library. This photo reallyContinue reading “Ann Arbor Art Fair 2023”

It was a beautiful morning, full of promise. But a Whitefish Point the promise is more exciting than just a promise. From minute to minute the skies can go from dark to cloudless. A freighter with Ontario in the distance. We went into town for lunch. No, TJ’s hasn’t reopened. In fact it’s been closedContinue reading “Today’s color is purple”

Now there’s somebody who knows how to separate them permently. Here’s not how to separate church and state. Unless you’re a member of the ultra-conservative supreme court. Ah, the dilemma. The “howlers” enforcing the dilemma. I am so glad to not be teaching and grading papers these days. When all of the stars line upContinue reading “Some Monday humor”

After raining for the better part of two days it was cool and clear this morning. We walked to the “hawk deck” at Whitefish Point then came home. The little clouds moved out as the temperature warmed from 61F. By the time we got home most of the clouds had cleared and the temperature wasContinue reading “After the rain in the north”

On our way north to Whitefish Point we stopped near Moran in hopes of finding some late blooming Showy ladies-slippers. We were not disappointed. We visited the Owls Roost where the owl banders light for moths at night. “White” moths dominated the roost. But there were a few others. Here’s Susan photographing one of theContinue reading “Another orchid and some moths”

I can’t remember how many years ago I found Lamb. I was intrigued by the subtitle The gospel according to Biff, Christ’s childhood pal. I would be laughing out loud the book was so funny. And that book started me on my “Moore-quest.” It’s funny how some of the books are free-standing, while other shareContinue reading “Christopher Moore books”

Here we were 36 years ago getting married, very appropriately in our garden. It was an outrageously hot day, approaching 100F. We had friends and family in from all over the US and Canada. This year we celebrated with dinner at Sava. It was delightful. Our server even brought us two glasses of champagne toContinue reading “An anniversary celebration”
