She recently had a massive bed of pink Asiatie lilies...
Reporter's note: Late June my wife and I drove to Washington state for our twin grandkids' high school graduation. We stayed with friends who live in Warm Beach, a residential community north of Seattle along Port Susan. Port Susan is a bay connecting, eventually, to Puget Sound and the Pacific Ocean. Warm Beach was a great area to walk, especially in the early summer, with lots of giant evergreens, blooming flowers of every sort, spectacular views of the bay and some challenging hills to get...
Reporter's note: Readers would have to be totally oblivious to their surroundings on Highway 2 this time of year not to notice a number of people on bicycles loaded with camping and travel gear. Most are heading east along a route that takes riders through this part of the upper Midwest-often called the "northern tier route." It's not unusual, in these summer months, to see a couple of cyclists eating ice cream outside a local shop, buying groceries or other items at the store or quick stop and...

I love to stay in rustic cabins. Matter of fact I lived in several rustic cabins during my life and they were simply great! What got me thinking about those cabins is that I got the dates that I am going to be staying at cabin 6 at the Village Lodge in Apgar.

I will be staying there a few days this spring and a few more days in the fall. When I stay at Lake McDonald Lodge I usually stay in cabin 14 which is...
