1 Pure Michigan Photo Book
and a couple of cookies

You might want to know how I did the picking – I assigned numbers to the names and wrote those numbers on paper. Then I pulled a number out of the hat.
Which hat to chose :

My Cirque du Soleil hat

or:

the old standby, Jessica Rabbit hat

Why I Love Winter in Michigan!

I looked out my bathroom window this morning and could not believe my eyes.  It had snowed A LOT last night.  And now the sun is shining brightly, the sky is this amazing, cold, blue color that let’s you know that it is winter

The first couple of pictures were taken out the upstairs window…( I know, through the screen. It’s freezing cold, I can’t open the window and take out the screen)

See on top of the cans?  From nothing at all yesterday afternoon to this:

By our recycling station – looking out to M-22

The “Madonna tree”  in front of cottages 2 and 3.  This tree got it’s name from a dear friend and guest from Delaware. Next time you are here, look at it’s trunk and you will see why.
