It will have its garden-plots and its parterres elsewhere than on the earth, and gather nuts and berries by the way for its subsistence, or orchard fruits with such heedlessness as berries.' -Henry David Cool post ! ‘It is true, there are the innocent pleasures of country life, and it is sometimes pleasant to make the earth yield her increase, and gather the fruits in their season; but the heroic spirit will not fail to dream of remoter retirements and more rugged paths.

We just returned home from a week in the Grand Traverse/Benzie/Leelanau area today! We've visited this area for years, and in all seasons. There are a lot of stories at Midwest Guest about our travels there :) I love the tart cherries, but they are a little difficult to find here in the Detroit area. I did find them at Detroit's Eastern Market the weekend before we left for up north, though. They do make just about any imaginable product with cherries up TC way...and I've probably tried most of them over the years. Glad you enjoyed your trip to Michigan.
