Good afternoon GH.  For the "Desert Rats" out there, the current temperature is a beautiful 73 degrees, with low humidity and partly cloudy skies.  Sugar the Weather Dog is currently not expecting any precipitation, but there might some later or early tomorrow.  I took a bike ride over to the small box hardware store in Spring Lake, to make an exchange.  While there, I picked up some Wildflower Mix for planting next spring. It was on special for $3.50 versus $8.99, so I figured that it was worth a try, in keeping with my reputation as a "cheapskate."  I also wanted to try the path to Spring Lake, and the ride across Harbor Island was as described, lovely.  I had stopped by the bike store to add air to my tires and asked the best way to go.  I was given two alternatives, and the Harbor Island route turned out to be the best choice.  The lakeside path in Spring Lake is great, especially at this time of year.  I didn't much like crossing the U.S. 31 bridge, I had to walk my bike and the noise was awful, but overall, the ride was worth the time and effort.  Otherwise, my day has been pretty quiet.  Mary made a great lunch of Swiss cheese and tomato on crispy crackers.  She gave me horseradish, my favorite condiment on mine, while she had mustard on hers.  She also boiled the corn we bought at the farmer's market last week, and it was of course, delicious.  Last evening, I finished the book Witiku, The Shape Shifter, by David Walks-As-Bear, my favorite Native American author.  This book is filled with Native American words, hot cars, and beautiful Native American women, not to mention the "Dog Men" of Michigan.  Mary wants to read it too, just as soon as time permits.  I am awaiting the newest book in the Ely Stone series by Walks-As-Bear, titled Lucifer's Wedge.  However, no release date has yet been given.  There, I said all I have to say today, but for those of you who need more, I suggest that you check back later.  Or, you can choose the website for the Grand Haven Tribune, grandhaventribune.com and view the city on their "Harbor Cam."
