Elk and Moose
These are the animals shown on Michigan’s shield along with a sun rising over a lake. I spent almost a week visiting a friend’s house, bought by her father in 1947, that is literally on the shore of Lake Michigan. … Continue reading
The Heather on the Hill
The middle week of my Scottish caper was spent in the Inner Hebrides, the area where a great deal of Scottish Gaelic literature and music began. At each of our four stops my travel companion and I usually had at … Continue reading
Lights, iPhone, Action

Tight Little Island
No, not Britain. Iceland, a country with a total population of 318,000 people, two-thirds of whom live here in Reykjavik. The whole country is roughly the size of Kentucky. The people have tremendous self-esteem which must be part of the … Continue reading
Peony
Inspired by the exquisite white-with-raspberry-accented peonies in crystal containers at a luncheon, I decided my Vermont garden needed a white peony. Peonies are my all time fave flowers and the four plants I already have are deep to pale pink. … Continue reading
Dogs Have Owners, Cats Have Staff
My grandmother and mother were vehemently anti-cat, almost to the point of phobic, so growing up I had no contact with felines. Apparently dogs made the cut because we had one starting when I was nine. Years later, after my … Continue reading
