Vol XVI – #345 – Gone is the Wind Along With a Few Trees

I tried to take a picture of Van’s Beach from this same spot yesterday and the wind was just  much, had to retreat.  The cherry and grape growers are hopeful this weather will stabilize.  Warm ups are nice but can put crops in jeopardy.   A free 2017 Leland Report Calendar is now shipping with all book orders!  http://www.artistasylum.com/book/h7b12a9f3#h7b12a9f3

Vol XVI – #339 – Nothing Ventured… Nothing Gained

Vol XVI – #330 – Leland in the Morning Sun

It’s been said many times, “Oh What a Beautiful Morning”, and it’s being said today.  Winter still has a month to go, but this “Spring Break” is nice to have.  I’m going out on the deck and sit in the sun.   A free 2017 Leland Report Calendar is now shipping with all book orders!  http://www.artistasylum.com/book/h7b12a9f3#h7b12a9f3

Vol XVI – #298 – Harbor Views and News Again

I‘m not surprised at the response the Dredging Fund has gotten.  The people of Leelanau County and those closely connected have, always supported all the important issues that need funding.  The Conservancy, Fishtown Preservation are classic examples.       Profits from any upcoming sales of the 2017 Leland Report Calendar will go towards the Harbor Dredging fund.   http://www.artistasylum.com/specialty-items/e5b7837c1  The Leland Report/Leif… Read more »
