A picture taken before the cabins were "digested" by nature.  My Grandmother, when young, slept in the cabins, just for fun and to say that she had done it.
This rose window was brought over from Cheboygan on the steamer Duluth in 1906.  It was the design of Eustace Ziegler and constructed in Detroit by the firm of Fredrick & Wolfrum.

The bastard's roots suck juice from other plants.  these flowers are 4mm wide (3/16") and the plant is 3 to 4 inches tall in the colony I found.  Before the flowers open, they look like a bunch of little white balls.  Also, the flower has no petals.  What you see are the sepals.

Looking out at Snake Island from the shore in front of our place. I like to go out exploring on gloomy days like this. Well, sometimes . . .

Cindy Riker has asked this post be moved to the front page.

As of right now, there are no plans to have a Fun Day in 2010. We do not have anyone that has volunteered to be the chairperson. Anyone interested contact Graham Whipple, Lani White, Cheryl Gahn or Cindy Riker....
