In May 2012 my daughter and I were purchasing wet suits at Play It Again Sports in Traverse City, having learned some lessons about cold water. Cmdr. Joe Buzzela was checking out with his son. Buying baseball equipment I think. A complete stranger, I approached him to thank him…
poor man's florist, white violets bloom in suttons bay

Some of my favorite bouquets are from simple blooms so common you almost don't see them anymore. My yard has been overgrown with violets this spring. Thousands of purple blossoms are nearly spent, now. Today, I found that these delicate white ones have spread across the northwest corner of my hosta beds. I almost…

My daughter was delighted to get an invitation to her friend's 10th birthday celebration at the Presque Isle Lodge. This is my second adventure at the Presque Isle Lodge and it reminds me of my childhood vacations Up North. It's a melding of the comfort of…
a spring walk in suttons bay with solomon's seal, jack in the pulpit, dogwood, lily of the valley

My great weekend treat is to take my coffee cup into the garden for discovery. The visions inspire the voices of past experiences to rise to the forefront of my mind's eye. A poppy plant has reseeded in a spot that will be too shady for it and hide its blooms from view. Some phlox have escaped their bed for the sedum…

Hi Rachel, it was very kind of you to drop a note. I hope this one finds you well, enjoying your beautiful bay. I love TC in the early morning hours. What's happ'n? Oh, the usual really; work and family. Gratefully, all is well here. I went to a Dave Matthews Band concert last night so I’m tired this morning and at once feel a great sense of possibility! Which I suppose is the measure of a good concert. Work demands are great, reading seems a luxury, haven’t written it seems in years, but I stop in at MyNorth from time to time and recently, learned and was saddened to hear about your brother. I was moved by your beautiful essay. Please know my thoughts are with you and your family…
I'm planning to make a couple of visits to Sleeping Bear this summer/ fall which is always a deep source of joy for me, my family. All our years there, our trips - one memory for me now. And with each return I experience it just as T.S. Eliot said our exploring would be; “to arrive where we started. And know the place for the first time.”
I'll try not to stay away for so long...
Take care,
Darren
