Vol XVI # 057 – A Foggy Day in Leland Town

   A brief rain shower passed over last evening and fog greeted us this morning.  Not enough rain to alleviate the No Burn rule. Sun finally burned thru the fog and another nice day was in store.  Scattered thunderstorms are forecasted for tomorrow.       

Vol XVI # 056 – Wildflowers

   The  Wildflower Rescue team will be on hand this weekend at the Village Green with a lot of Trillium for sale.   Both Upper and Northern Lower peninsulas are under an extreme fire watch and No Burn Rule is in effect. Some rain is expected this week.          

Vol XVI # 034 – Meggen’s Monday

One of my favorite indicators of spring is the forsythia that blooms, and heading north into Leland is an amazing row, just popping now. It’s a clear, cool spring day up north!       

Vol XVI # 033 – A Rainy Sunny Day

A interesting day in the Land of Delight’s weather, the sun was shinning and it was raining.  Biscuit and I stopped by to see Leif at his Fishtown Shop.  No doubt about it, Leif has developed into one of Leelanau Counties favorite artists joining the likes of Fred Petroskey, Gene Rantz, Ken Scott and so many others that we are… Read more »

  A cloudy, breezy beginning to what has become a beautiful April day.  Still on the chilly side, but the weekend promises to be better.  Leland shops that were closed for the winter are beginning to open for the season.  Biscuit and I stopped by Blue Boat Coffee to say hello to Joe and Greta Campo.  Joe is co-owner along with Nels… Read more »

Vol XVI # 030 – When Winter is Really Over

A busy day that left me scrambling for pictures to take for this report.  Van’s Beach and South Beach were easy because Biscuit and I are there every morning.  On Reynolds Street, the snow is collected from all over town and dumped there until it melts.        

Vol XVI # 029 – What’s Happening Around Town?

A lot of activity around town getting Leland ready for the season.  Above… Manitou Transit is rebuilding the dock.  Below… the firehouse in it’s latest stages.  Lawn care workers cleaning up everywhere.  Store owners getting their businesses ready.  It’s still a little chilly, but I’m sure it will warm up, it always does.        

Vol XVI # 028 – My View Of the World

The day began with a cloudy get-up and just chilly to the bone walking the beach.  Around one the sky began to clear and blue skies appeared on the horizon.  Sunshine…  Sunshine.       

Vol XVI # 010 – A Phonogenic Day

  Another one of those in-between clippers day. That beautiful blue sky is clouding up in preparation of another clipper system on it’s way.  In spite of the cold, the sun is high enough to melt the last snow preparing it for the next… irritating.  The TV weather persons show warming a couple of days away, never tomorrow, always couple… Read more »
