Last night a log home over on Lac Court De Oreilles (Couderay Lake) burned to the ground. It was a big, bad fire. There were two cars in the garage, but nobody was home.

This Post Is For My Man
Summer days. Wild flowers. Lake Superior shores. These are real scenes from real places and we’ve been there. I can hardly imagine. Next summer we will find them all again.

Not in the freezer or in the pantry, nor even in the refrigerator. It simply wasn't...anywhere. Brad… Continue reading Scribblings

The day/year started out at 21 below zero this morning. The wage earners around here rolled out of bed and went to work in spite of the cold.
