Vol XVI # 069 – Meggen’s Monday

Lucy the dog keeps a watchful eye

Clear skies this morning offered a delightful reprieve from the weekend’s rain and clouds: blue skies over Fishtown. Earlier this weekend, we met Lucy at Stander Marine in Leland – calmly riding along as her master goes about his work. Also it’s a great time to walk the trail at Leelanau Conservancy’s Houdek Dunes Natural Area to see the pink ladies slippers – these wild orchids are in full bloom, not far from the trailhead.
