What is this flower?
My friend Ruth sure knows how to garden! I was over at her house this summer and took this… any idea what it is?

Mmmmm… It Reminds Me Of Washington
Spring in the Leelanau Penninsula
For a short time I lived in Washington State when I was a little girl. Other than the rain every day, I remember seeing beautiful rows of trees like this. I was traveling up north on a windy, windy spring day and saw these trees with rows of fruit trees beyond them, just starting to blossom. It doesn’t matter what time of year it is there, it’s always beautiful.

Barnaby Baby!
It's Barnaby!
Barnaby and Friends of WLHT fame had me on their show this morning so I just had to give them a shout out and say “thanks” for having me on their show today. You can tune in weekdays on 95.7 from 6am – 10am. Here’s a link to their webpage.

Grand Delight at the Grand Gallery in Ada
This is just one of the six sunny rooms filled with fine art.
The first time I walked into the Grand Gallery five years ago, I knew this was a special place. I was there with my shop-till-you-drop French sister-in-law who now requests a visit there every time she’s back in town. The Grand Gallery has quite a collection of fine art, and also very affordable unique hand made items that are perfect for gift giving. For those of you interested in my creative work, I was recently added as an artist at the Grand Gallery and my work is on exhibit, it’s not pictured in this photo, so I guess you’ll just have to stop by to see it.

Sunning on a Perch
Seagulls in Manistee
These little seagulls were just as happy as could be soaking up the sun along the waterfront in Manistee.
