Welcome to Cabin & Camp

Welcome to my world. I live in a cabin on an island that is at the easternmost tip of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, my favorite place in the world.

If I want anything to come of this assemblage of essays and photos, it's that finally, at long last, Michigan my Michigan will be seen as the unique and beautiful state we who are privileged to live here have always known it is.

So I hope you'll join me here as well as at my website, where the talk is about Cabins and Camps in general.

Canada Geese babies

Don't let anybody kid you--website building is not all that easy. I'm still tweaking, but had to let it go over Memorial Day weekend. Something happened on my host site and I wasn't able to edit anything. It was just as well, because we had company all weekend and I was happy to spend all my time with them. It was a gorgeous weekend. A real miracle, considering it was cold before they all got here on Thursday night and turned cold and ugly again after they left on Monday morning. They brought the good weather with them, and then took it back. Not fair!

The parents looked frazzled, and why not? They spend all their time looking out for enemies and trying to herd those little chicks back to their sides.

We'll let them stay for a while, but once those chicks have grown a little, we'll be shooing them away. They think "beach" means "latrine" and we can't have that.
