Stone Silo

This barn is located in Northport, MI at one of the farms I scout in the summer. It's one of my favorites. The stone silo is just beautiful. I believe this barn is around 100 years old buy I can't say for sure.

Cascade Falls

Andrew and I visited the Upper and Lower Cascade Falls on Sunday. I had no idea that we even lived near any waterfalls. Perfectly sunny and in the low 70's, it was an awesome day for hiking. Though, I will admit, I am extremely out of shape!

Atlantic Coast

Seaweed, I guess?


This little guy hitched a ride in on our fishing line.



No luck finding whole shells. They were always chipped up a bit.


These little birds were so fun to watch running in and out with the waves.

Winning Photo

I entered this photo into the www.Davesgarden.com photo contest and one 1st place in the fruit category, so exciting! I will receive a free one year subscription to the Dave's Garden website which is great since I wasn't sure if I would renew or not.

I took this photo in 09 just after I got my new cybershot. These are Balaton tart cherries in Lake Leelanau, MI.

Beautiful Pumpkins

I worked a booth at the farmers market today. It was a pretty day and busy too. This pumpkin booth was just across from me so I had to take a look.

Don't you love them!

Back in NC

I am back in North Carolina now. Just arrived Sunday night. The drive wasn't bad but Virginia and NC were quite rainy, yuck!

It's nice to be back again but I will miss everybody at home. I had a wonderful summer and spent lots of time with family and friends.

Andrew has tons of fun lined up for us already. We have the Seafood festival this weekend in Moorehead and then deep sea fishing in a few weeks. We are going to the movies tomorrow night.

Looking forward to lots of fun with friends in NC now. It's time for some garden tea parties!

Tiny Turtle

This tiny Snapping Turtle was on my mom's porch a few days ago. What a little cutie.

Gently Crashing Waves

I could listen to the waves crash all night.


The shores of Lake Michigan.

Harvest for Sept. 2

The slugs are getting into the tomatoes a bit more than I would like but I'm still getting lots of great fruit. I see a bit of disease on a few plants too. I don't think it's late blight but maybe. I just hope it doesn't get all of them!

We are setting up a stand to sell some of these today. My mom just got back from her Yellowstone trip so now she can tend it while I'm at work.
