Ice Skating on President's Day

I wrote my last post, An Inland Lake Ice Rink Odyssey, on a spring-like day as I contemplated the effect on our ice rink of unbelievably warm weather and snow on the horizon. Neither of which portended well for pulling out any ice skating in the foreseeable future. The snow did come. The festivals all over Northern Michigan got a lovely fresh coat of snow and temperatures cold enough to sustain the stunn… Continue

An Inland Lake Ice Rink Odyssey

It's 54 degrees today. The sun has shone all day long and our dirt road has mostly melted. The world smelled like fresh earth reawakening on my walk with the dog. The air is pungent with decaying trees unearthed and thawing and what I suspect are carcasses doing the same. As I walked,… Continue

On Foot in T.C.—Hiking, Wine-Touring and Snacking at the GT Commons

Yesterday was a beautiful day, the kind of gift that only November can give. The sky was pale blue with diffuse cloud cover giving a hint of the rain that would be with us by dinnertime. The hills from a distance appeared as a mosaic of russet, grays and evergreen and the temperature… Continue

Hi Deb;
I'd love to write more for MyNorth, but writing is my only job, aside from the occasional survival class. I can only give away so much before I begin cutting my own throat. I'm not seeing a return yet from the blogs/photos I post, but I do have book contracts lined up waiting, and I sell every article I write to outdoor magazines. Even so, I need to sell every keystroke to live, and I'm still waiting for a yea or nay on a query I sent to Traverse Magazine in August (I've sold that article to another magazine, anyway). Doesn't Michigan's Up North magazine have any need of a Michigan Up North writer with 25 years' experience and 14 books (none self-published) to his credit?
Besides that, I hope your fall colors are every bit as beautiful as ours. The air is cold now, and the scent of dogsledding is in the air. http://www.tactical-life.com/online/tactical-knives/going-the-distance/ It'll be a busy winter.

Thanks for the welcome. We're glad we found a place to hang our hats and share a little bit of our life in Kaleva. Our profile picture is Chunks. She's our internet representative.

Hi Deb,
I notice my bonsai article was "featured", but I must admit I don't know what that means, at least on "My North". Can you shed some light on this for me? Thanks a bunch, as always.
Dean

Hello Deb,
I appreciate your note. This is the first Blog I have ever participated in. I am a retired school teacher, and until yesterday wrote for the Antrim County News free lance. That paper announced its demise however. I do some work with the East Jordan C of C. They were advised by Traverse Magazine rep's to have me send samples of my writing to this site, so here I am. Thanks for the welcome.

Forgot to mention our daughter, Jennifer, who is now 28. It is fun to watch them grow. I'm now Gramma to six and loving every minute. The fun part is when the boys start reminising and turn to your baffled face and say, "Oh, Mom, you didn't know about that, did you?"

Hi Deb,
Have been following you and Traverse Magazine since your boys were very little. Having raised three boys myself (now 38, 40 & 42) and having been part of the area since my birth, I have always enjoyed the magazine and particularly your editorials. They are beautiful, touching and alway inspiring - thanks!

Hi Deb
Thank you for the wonderful reflections in your February Editor's Note of Traverse Magazine. I like your line "Who wouldn't want to produce words and photographs for this place?"
