I ask this question at close of day
What is that, which comes this way?
Is it an alien invader?
Perhaps a vulture to feed on carrion.
May hap an eagle to inspire and renew.
Or it could be just a strange cloud formation, but I doubt it is only that and nothing more.
Raven: “Nevermore.”
Sylvia’s sister reports some [relatively] minor damage at the cottage from Sunday’s storm. Houses on either side had damage from falling trees.
Saturday, Sylvia wrapped up a week with her family at Glen Lake. It is one of her favorite places on earth and where we spent our honeymoon.
At the end of another great day
I like the way that Sylvia used the trees to form a frame around the image of the setting sun. As you can see, the cottage sits high above Glen Lake, but the lot extends down to the shoreline.
Cousin, Linette Crosby, took this photo from a different spot and shows how great the view is from the cottage.
Glen Lake
From that lofty vantage point, you can also see a bit of Sleeping Bear Sand Dune and Lake Michigan.
I received a message from Linette this morning. She wanted to know was anyone at the cottage on Sunday. Were they okay?
Storms had moved through on Sunday. She also wanted to know about any storm damage at the cottage. We had no info on that.
Here’s what had Linette concerned: Glen Arbor Hit by Tornado.
We hope everyone and everything is okay. The family has the cottage listed for sale.
Driver, Brad Keselowski, had a brake problem (self inflicted?). He didn’t stop in the pit box. The crew can cross the wall when the driver is one box away from entering his pit box. The results were not very nice–ugly, I’d say.
Hats off to the two crew! They got up and completed the pit stop.
Because a tire bounced off the hood and went rolling away, Brad was penalized and the number 2 car went a lap down.
Ugly day, right? Yes it was.
No further mishaps and Brad drove the car to a second-place finish. Looks like this team made a great comeback.
As I sat at desk, I glimpsed movement from the corner of my eye. Birds. Large birds walking on the edge of the lawn. Are they turkeys?
It’s not unusual to spot turkeys in this neighborhood. But five of them? That’s a first.
With camera in hand, I found a better location to observe the avian action. The young birds explored the border between lawn and willow thicket.
They turned back toward the road. Just before reaching the ditch, they entered the tall grass as they sought cover among the willows.
Playing “Follow the Leader”
I love this neighborhood, flower, fauna and folk.
