I wrote the below during the midst of a blizzard and then lost my connection for two days. I am finally able to repost with photos.

We've been blessed with kind of weather that convinces tourists that there is no more beautiful place on earth than Lake Superior's North Shore. Brilliant warm days filled with cooling breezes . . .

This summer, as one week wended toward the next with no sign of rain, many of us believed we'd have little fall color. The trees were too stressed we thought. And, when the color seemed to peak around . . .

At four o'clock this morning I caught the seven Pleiades sisters dancing. Why I woke with such alacrity I do not know. I didn't need to yawn, nor did I want to snuggle under the covers for a bit . . .

I thought I’d completed the process of writing a book when my memoir, The Scent of God , was published by Counterpoint, NY, this April. I didn’t realize that the most arduous part of authorship . . .

Since late November I’ve watched a new beach form on our Lake Superior shoreline. It did not exist when we moved here eight years ago. It grows a bit every day. Now it measures around 18 feet . . .

I'd like to suggest Damian McNichol's Smiling Dolphis to the Best of Gather. Until I read this article I was one of the many who enjoy watching Dolphins perform in Zoos and waterparks. Damian takes . . .

“Mommy, “ my children shouted as they careened breathlessly into the kitchen from outside. “Will there still be trees when we grow up?”

It looks like our old dog needs some encouragement to take a hike today but don't let appearances fool you. She's been barking her head off, so anxious she is to get going. It's just that sometimes . . .

I live next to Lake Superior, the second largest fresh water lake in the world. Only Lake Baikal in Russia surpasses her -- not in size because Superior is 19,000 sq. miles larger, but in . . .
