Greetings, Coffee Lover!
It is time to bid September adieu, and look toward the crispness and color of October. Last month we cooled down pretty quickly, and rain fell on half the days, yielding 5.5 inches of rain (which is a lot for us). The trees are just beginning to turn color, and we’re [...]

Greetings, Coffee Lover!
Wow, what a great summer. Even a bit of Labor Day rain couldn’t dampen our spirits. Not only was this summer a do-over for last summer, but it probably had double the number of great days that a “good” summer normally contains. The rains were plentiful and came at night, [...]

You will recall that last summer did not have the best weather. It would be sunny for a couple days, but then rain a bit or get cold. It never really opened up. This summer is making up for it! One couldn’t ask for better weather than we’ve been having. A year ago July’s average [...]

You knew we wouldn’t forget you. It just got crazy around the holiday, and now we’re relaxing a bit. Still, yesterday was a record day for the cafe. Go figure. Meanwhile, the Fourth of July was splendid, and both the Glen Arbor parade and the Glen Lake boat parade were well attended, despite [...]

Well, summer is definitely here. Warm days, cool nights, light breezes, and the occasional rain shower. Overall, everything has greened up beautifully, and already some of the hardwoods are sprouting new leav
es after the tent caterpillars ate away at the forest canopy. Each day, more and more customers trickle into Glen Arbor and the cafe, [...]
Greetings, Coffee Lover!
We are in Michigan, so the weather is always the hot (or cold) topic. In April and May we were getting ahead of ourselves with unseasonably warm days, and just after I sent out the update Mother Nature put on the brakes, and we coasted through the month with cool weather. But as [...]
This morning I awoke to the sound of waves crashing in Sleeping Bear Bay as a north wind blew in. The sky is clear and deep blue, and the trees are swaying slightly in the breeze as their tiny leaves have pushed about halfway out. All around there is a golden green tint to trees, [...]

I thought I’d take a little break from the blog, and instead have been concentrating on Facebook posts. Surprisingly, few of you dear readers have noticed my absence Still, I’ll ramble on (and keep the search bots busy).
We had a beautiful weekend in Glen Arbor, and Moose and I hiked Alligator Hill on [...]
