The bee population may be going through some crazy times out in the real world, but at Matthaei Botanical Gardens the times are phat, baby, phat! I had the wide angle on the camera and as my lens came within touching distance of a flower I realized I was way outnumbered if one of the [...]

Since the first part of the year on Friday mornings Lisa Gottlieb and Jeff McCabe open their home and with a host of volunteers offer breakfast diners a steady stream of guest chefs and a few beautifully select breakfast options. They refer to it as a Breakfast Salon. I love the ‘Salon’ part. It makes [...]
The other morning brought the kind of fall day that makes you glad you live in Michigan. I even called a girlfriend who grew-up in Michigan, but now resides in Hawaii, to brag about the crisp air, the puffy clouds and the trees which were in full show-off mode. I finished by telling her that [...]
For those of you who have honed your canoeing skills at Gallup Park or you’ve begun to wish the Huron River went on forever it may be time to plan a trip. Backcountry canoeing is similar to staying in a hotel except that you take a canoe everywhere instead of a taxi. That’s what I [...]

Spoiler Alert: All vegetarians and vegans please proceed to the next article. The rabbit dies in the end. Last weekend while perusing the first farmer’s market of the year we met Karl. Karl has a lot of product from his farm and as it turns out …he has rabbit. Just as Karl mentioned this specialty [...]
I’m a total sucker for Farmer’s Markets. I buy bread I can’t possibly finish, preserves that will be in my frig for months, eggs that come in brown, blue and green, but it’s all good. Typically these products are grown locally. They are produced by smaller farms that often use more ecologically sound growing methods [...]
