Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation and across the world. It is just past 6:00 p.m. in "The City."

I didn't get up last night/early this morning because I felt like sleeping in for a change. But that's okay, as I really didn't have a lot to blog about anyway.

We have a current temperature of 42° under cloudy skies that feels like 35° with a wind out of the west and off of Lake Michigan @ 13 mph. We do have a Small Craft Advisory in effect from South Haven to Manistee until 5:00 a.m. tomorrow morning, with winds blowing from 10 to 20 knots and waves of 3 to 5 feet a possibility. 

In addition, the NWS has issued a Freeze Warning for most areas of lower western Michigan beginning @ 8:00 a.m. tomorrow morning and continuing until 11:00 a.m. Thursday morning as temperatures may dip to the mid-20s. However, here on the shores of Lake Michigan, we will be spared the frosty conditions that pose a risk to fruit tress that are beginning to bud. 

Tomorrow's high temperature forecast calls for only 42° with a low temperature of 29°. However, there is a ray of hope on the weather horizon, as one week from tomorrow, Tuesday, the 27th, the NWS is forecasting a high temperature of 64°. 

The sun will rise tomorrow @ 6:54 a.m. and set tomorrow evening @ 8:33 p.m.

A sad announcement was made over last weekend, as the Michigan Irish Festival that is usually held in mid-September has been canceled for a second year in a row. That's due to the Covid-19 pandemic that is raging here in Michigan. I miss my Irish Jam sessions and now I don't even have the festival to look forward to. We are hoping the Harbor Springs Festival of the Book doesn't get canceled too, as it is also held one week later than the Irish Music Festival. Sigh.

We did get out and about yesterday to take some pix and travel to locations that are further than our own back-forty.

We took a trip to nearby Nunica, MI, to snap a pic of a scaled down replica of Stonehenge that a family has built in their front yard. 

The Nunica Replica.

Our Vast Gardens Havenhenge.

""The" Stonehenge near Bath, England.

Since we were out, a barn picture was a must.

This is another barn very near to the other barn.

I have nothing good to say about baseball yesterday. The Red Sox, the Cubs, and the Tigers all lost.

Earlier, I made burgers and Coleslaw for dinner and started a new novel. I have put that one aside to focus on one that Mary found fascinating over her last two or three days of reading. So I'll read that to give her my perspective.

Otherwise, not much is happening here in GH. We are still avoiding person to person contact whenever possible in spite of our fully vaccinated status. 

Tomorrow is indoor chore day and that's about it. Ciao.
