A Linnea in their natural habitat ️

We have landed in Northern Michigan. The skies are wider, the nights are darker, the roads are longer, faster, and louder. Yes, louder. The schoolhouse needs a good spring scrubbing and we need to cozy into our corners of Up North Life. But first, the beach. Well, even the beaches this summer, are a little funky due to massive alewife die-offs. I already know there will be a future Peppermint Alley Press entry about this. But not today.

So this is a Linnea in their natural habitat. A little more room for wandering, a little more time for watching the horizon and wondering at the stars. The light softens and my face does too.
