Another one of those days that had everything Mother Nature could bring. Deep dark clouds with pockets of blue and billowing whites. Drizzle at times with periods of snow. Temperature in the forties with wind gusts in the twenties. Leelanau County color is shown on TV at 50% with the peak predicted next weekend.

The morning began with incredible cloud formations to the east over Lake Leelanau. The ever changing sky continued all day. This weekend the “Peepers” should be rewarded with color that gets better as the day gets longer.

The super moon did, in fact, emerge from behind the cloud cover last night. I didn’t see the full eclipse, but caught it during the “second half.” We’ve been having a run of incredibly beautiful days, both with clear skies and otherwise… still thoroughly enjoyable.

Another special moment as the sun rises over Van’s Beach. I think it’s obvious that this is where the day begins for Biscuit and Me, next stop… Fishtown. A special treat today was our journey through the vineyards of Chateau Fontaine.

A beautiful day in the Leelanau and also the Big City By the Bay, had a dental visit. On the way back I stopped and took a picture of one of my favorite barns on CR633. The roof is caved in and it probably going back to earth soon. .

(Report by Jim today) Anyone driving down M22 South of Leland this morning may have seen me down in the poison ivy and reeds taking photos of the sunrise. Anyone who was paying attention saw a great cloud show that carried over into Fishtown. Lunch at Happy Hour and a trip down to roaring brook caps off a pre-barbecruise-day afternoon

Biscuit and I decided to check out the Little Red Schoolhouse and found it to be in excellent condition, especially with it’s new coat of paint. Just beyond, around the bend the destruction began. Trees were flattened on both sides of the road. The power was still out in the Glen Lake Area at noon, 9&10 News reported 9,000… Read more »
