Vineyard Cuttings For the Taking!

We’ve just wrapped up the winter hand-pruning at our Estate vineyard on Old Mission Peninsula and the vineyards are filled with vine cuttings. This year is a little more interesting as it was a year that we replaced the old cordon with a new cane to help improve the vines. The cordon is the thicker part of the vine that lies horizontally along the trellis. The remaining vine…

watch the northern lights over grand traverse bay

Here's an opportunity of a lifetime for me: the sun is sending us a little northern lights entertainment late tonight or tomorrow. There's been an eruption on the sun's surface sending plasma our way. The plasma will take as much as two days to get here and will cause a geomagnetic storm when it arrives, sending red and green curtains of light across the northern sky. Can you hear the glee as I write? I've never seen them. And I'm going to do my best to see them, plus I have a list of… Continue

Traverse City Light and Power Biomass Plant

There has been a lot of discussion lately about Traverse City Light and Power installing a biomass electrical generation plant. I don't know if this is a good or bad thing. But what does concern me is where are the going to get all the trees to feed this beast. If Cadillac has one already and now they want to build one in Mancelona too. Is there no other options? Well the other day I thought well why don't they use the methane that is just being burnt off at the landfill West of town. I would… Continue

first spark

I remember waiting as a kid to go Up North. And once there, usually after the summer solstice we had two weeks or so to do everything cool. Even later when I worked Up North in the summer, staying with Grandma for a month or more, it was a mad dash to squeeze as much as possible out of the short time here. Nothing has changed now that we live Up North. And yesterday marked the start of summer with our first dinner on the beach. We're late. Memorial Day usually initiates the first… Continue
