There being no Leap Day this year, how ’bout we fit February 29 in here?

Empire Bluff
This is why we go north for my birthday.

Bounce!
Three years ago bad weather cancelled our trip north. We stayed home, and I took pix of birds. Especially this bird.

Waterfront
A decade ago we spent the weekend in Petoskey, just for a change from our usual Traverse City getaway.

On the Beach
We eventually make it to Traverse City. Last year we found the water high, relatively little ice, and the beach at Pointes North much abbreviated.

Winter Through the Work Window
I actually had this cubicle twice. A reorganization took me away for an upstairs cubby with a view of the swamp, but then we moved to another building and a desk without windows. A few months later I transferred back to this building, and soon reclaimed this desk.

Rotting Before My Eyes
Roxand Township’s white settlers bought fairly small farms. This one had 80 acres, and about 20 of those were (and remain) swamp. Most of Codding’s near neighbors owned less land–30 acre plots were more common than I expected. Over the decades folks consolidated the farms. The houses–and the sheds and barns–were knocked down, or abandoned.

View from Room 251
Photo taken from Borgess Medical Center’s North Tower. This structure’s on the roof of, apparently, BMC’s Stryker Center. I expect it’s a skylight, but if so it’s a strange skylight.

Walldorff’s in Hastings
Two years ago we stopped for supper at Walldorff’s on our way to the Cooper’s Glen Music Festival in Kalamazoo. I had the Bowtie Pasta Florentine; Joan had the Orange Chicken Rice Bowl (I took pix). ‘Twas a fine supper.

The Broken Trellis
One year ago an overnight wind storm got our trellis. While we weren’t surprised to find it broken, we were surprised to find it so thoroughly broken. All three four-by-fours making its main frame proved to be rotten.
