a fall tromp, a batch of applesauce & an afternoon in suttons bay with grandma

My daughter and my mother spent the afternoon together. They went for a walk in the sun and found a small apple tree in a field. A rogue seed that had prospered alone. I imagined them tromping through the neon orange and yellow Maples, with sage-colored Cedars keeping time along the way. They picked the apples and carried them home. And once here, peeled them and sliced them into pot for applesauce. A spoonful of cinnamon, some sugar and a stool. It was a perfect Tasha Tudor moment.

petoskey artists studio tour at crooked tree art gallery

MyNorth participated in the "Thank You" party for the volunteers of the Crooked Tree Art Center Studio Tour last Saturday. More than 75 folks helped more than a dozen artists all over Emmet County meet and greet tour goers, showing them their personal studios and sharing insight into their methods and techniques. I must say that the group of artists and volunteers that gathered under a huge tent behind the Crooked Tree Art Center was one of the most stylish groups I've seen gathered in awhile. I… Continue

At 8:57pm on April 15th, 2009, Darren King said…: aw, I'm going to miss Betty's posts! I did appreciate the perspective. I think I mentioned in a comment something to knowing the value of brevity. They were good and nice writing on your part. Some days, with her reference to roomies and seemingly playful jaunts, I thought Betty might be a college student or post-grad. On other days, she reminded me of a woman named Lydia who led the hikes of my local Sierra Club chapter. Lydia was in her 70's at the time, a joyful spirit and could walk circles around us. I thought Betty might be another Lydia - mindful, awake, timeless, open to adventure and the occasional tumbling down a snowy hill. For you, as a writing exercise, it was probably a fun gig, which now makes me wonder - where in each pieces does Betty end...and Rachel begin? Perhaps, that is another reflection essay for you to consider. Coffee in TC? Sounds great. We get up that several times each year. I'll keep you posted. I drank a lot of joe in TC last year. Just depends which part of town I stand in with Espresso Bay at one end and Good Harbor at the other...best, Darren (p.s. thanks for reading my other work)

Sure. I do post all of our events on the calendar here. There is also a Northern Michigan Moms social network that you might want to include if you can. It is a ning.com site and I think that the Petoskey News Review is involved with that group. I just found out about the group yesterday and signed up to be a member. You may wish to check that out

Yes, My cottage is listed on My North. I love MyNorth.com! I always check on your events section before we come up, so I can plan my trip.

At 12:06pm on March 25th, 2009, TART Trails said…: Thanks for the great presentation on Saturday (and the coffee mug!) I guess you could say that your presentation was effective... I'm now on MyNorth!

At 1:41pm on March 18th, 2009, Lane Milligan said…: Thank you, Rachel. Fustini's has had a good winter!
We are planning to have our 3rd tasting dinner with Hanna late this spring.
I will be sure to put it on mynorth.com calendar when we have more details.
We have been invited to be at the Festival of Tables in May, where we will be offering our oils & balsamics for tasting.
When you have time, venture across the street to try some.
We'd love to see you.
Lane

At 12:59pm on March 4th, 2009, Len McDougall said…: Thank you, Rachel. The truth is that I just don't have the word power to adequately describe the beaty of the wolves I've seen in the wild (5 yrs. as team tracker for the Little Traverse Bay Band of Odawa Indians and the prodigously titled Northern Michigan Wolf Detection and Habitat Survey Team), or for those I've been blessed to help care for in captivity. For Cheanne Chellis, "Wolf Lady" isn't a mere title, but a description of who this wild-natured and intelligent woman really is. The wolf is her spirit brother, and their species couldn't have a more devoted or well-informed defender.
