Tonight's sunset surprise on Lake Michigan when I arrived home. The sky looked a bit promising and holy moly did it ever follow through! Northport was on fire with a bit of floating ice still hanging on.

Thank you to the one and only for the AH MAZING oranges. They have brightened up our day and given us a taste for summer! It will be here before we know it. Thank you again Jan for the thoughtful gift!

It’s icy, people aren’t feeling well, February was 3 months long, the deer in my yard might be trying to kill me, and how can Sunday be the start of Daylight Saving Time already?

Anyway, we’ll be back open tomorrow! See you then!

Summer days are sneaking up on us....

We have so much to catch up on! Let’s start with the exciting news since the earliest snow piles began to melt and sunshine broke through in Northern Michigan:

The Purple Tree Books and Coffee in Cheboygan is now carrying Walloon Writers Review! We are so excited to welcome this delightful independent book store to our list of great bookstores you really have to visit and while there, be sure to pick up a copy of Walloon Writers Review. Purple Tree Books and Coffee is right downtown Cheboygan and has an amazing Michigan section just as you come in the door. The coffee and the welcome were terrific and there’s a great selection of books, gifts, muffins :) and journals.

Never quite able to leave a store without at least one book, I picked up a book about shipping on the great lakes. I’ll be ready on a warm beach-chair-day to pour through that! Visit Purple Tree as you explore the mighty northern Michigan this summer. I also took a few pictures along the Lake Huron shoreline which I posted last month.

Here is a current list of outstanding local booksellers who we hope you’ll visit and pick up a copy of Walloon Writers Review for the writer you know, the reader you love or as inspiration for a creative writer just graduating and something to take with them on their college journey away from the region! Reminders of home, great places, family and memories of the smell of the pines, the rush of the clear water, the sunshine and the snow:
