Abby and Nate in new shirts from Holland. Abby's says "Sweet" and Nate's says "Hungry". Abby wonders if the book Nate has is really her book.
But peaceful times follow, as Abby reads well-loved Jip and Janneke. When asked which is her favorite page, she says, "All of them".
Cozy cabin reading spot.
I know Rob posted a Grand Traverse Bay sunset picture with his new phone, but I like my picture, too.
Sarah's friend Kate lives in Traverse City, and built an amazing chicken coop in her backyard.
Abby approves.
Happy hens.
And a lovely hammock, from which to observe the hens.
Time to leave the Shambaugh cabin. A delightful spot to spend some summer days.
A view of the Mackinac Bridge from the UP. It's the longest suspension bridge in the western hemisphere (third longest in the world). It's about 5 miles long, and was opened in 1957. This year's annual bridge walk is September 5. Pedestrians are not allowed at any other time.
We spent the night near Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, on Lake Superior, and took an excursion along the shore. Note the observation platform in top left of photo. We hiked to that spot the next morning.
For three hours, we passed sights such as this ....
... and this
... and this.
We were very lucky with the weather.
Next morning a bald eagle flew by this observation platform at Miner's Castle.
Wonder what this spot will look like in six months.
A fellow from Boston took this.
After another long day of driving, we got home to find our basement dry, thankfully ... and Abby's zucchini thriving. We've spotted a few blossoms!
