The Flower of the Day is a medley of summer flowers -- St. John's Wort, Chicory, Queen Anne's Lace, Ox-eye Daisy, Common Mullein, and Spotted Knapweed. They remind us of this past summer and the beauty that was by the side of the road, but Autumn comes early in this northern place which means that we enjoy the leaves now, and will enjoy them again when we are back in Missouri. Other changes -- frost and an early morning mist, and boat traffic that will be shut down for about 2 1/2 months beginning in January -- ice and winter conditions.Hopefully, the economy will call them back to work in mid-March. The boat pictured is from The Netherlands.
There will be one more Michigan "blog" next week and then we will be back in Missouri. Greg and Lori came today to the heavy work that allows us to make our transition south. We look forward to them being here, not just for their good work, but also because we enjoy their company. Dinner at the Northwood was, as usual, excellent -- all you can eat Whitefish, choice of potato and salad -- $12.99. Best deal in town. Peace.
Oh Common Mullein, if you've seen one dick weed you've seen them all.
