Above, pictures of the calmness of Big Blue as well as the absence of winter two days before Christmas. It’s not the first time it’s been void of snow, hopefully not a trend for the season. Remembering the record snowfall two years ago I’m sure it’s not. Below is an update of the new fire station progress. … Read more »

Above average temperatures dominate the weather news. Usually at this time of year, a white weather pattern involves snow rather than fog. But rainy fog is what we have – where the familiar shoreline disappears into a bank of misty white. Meanwhile behind the scenes, the Joy is being fitted with rails that are about eight inches higher.

We have a mild and gray Monday today. At Mr. Burnham’s request, we are featuring photos of bowls turned from trees downed during the August 2 storm. Members of the Northwestern Michigan Woodturners Club are turning these bowls from sections of hardwood trees that fell that day, as a way for neighbors and those in the community to commemorate their… Read more »
