Darren King You're My Blue Sky (You're My Sunny Day)

Today has been a good day. And a sad day too. First, the good part; sharing an early breakfast with our friends and their beautiful children. Good food and good conversation under the umbrella of pines and bird song and the sun finally rising up to crest the tops of pines and burn off the dew. And then the children sneaking in one last time to play as adults talked and later to hear their new schemes in an attempt to delay the inevitable - seeing them off, home to Pennsylvania. That was the sad… Continue

Darren King Walden

When Henry David Thoreau left the village of Concord on July 4th - a date he contended was, more or less, coincidental given the inference to our American Revolution - he would later write that he had gone to the woods to "live deliberately" - and thus was the first in a string of paradoxical experiences. Several miles outside of town. Alone. Living in a 10 by 15 cabin he, himself, had built. Home for the next two years. 1845. Walden Pond.

Elizabeth Edwards Homework Assignment: Invasive Species

Tonight when I get home from work I have to do my homework. Okay, kidding. I'm really talking about a homework assignment my 11-year-old son, Keefer, has for a report on invasive species. And, no, I don't do his homework for him, but I am a believer in doing it with him—especially when there is some serious enrichment I can help with. In this case, he won't have to open a book. I will make the one-minute walk with him to the end of our road on Sleeping Bear Bay. This crescent of blue capped by… Continue

Josh Baker Paddling in the Fall

Getting out on the water. Living away from Harbor Springs for fifteen years did nothing to quell my desire for boating; the big lakes, inland lakes, rivers running or frozen - nothing beats getting out on the water. What a different view we get of our home town, our favorite getaway, our morning walking path! Kayaking last week with a group from Kentucky on the Inland Waterway was telling. The colors sneaking out along the shore of Crooked Lake, the water warmer than the air and only one houseb… Continue
