About the Torch Lake Market, you may forget the hours, but you know they are open for business rather than closed for the season or forever!P. J.

And there are not even any hunks working out across the street. In fact, the thought of that particular contrast with Northport has sent me off into a gale of giggles.<br /><br />Bless the roses, bless Dog Ears Books, and bless Wendell Berry.

I feel so much better now that you've put forward a logical explanation: of course it's the "babes" on their stationary bikes in the window across the street! Why didn't I think of that myself?P. J.

I'm pleased and grateful that you made time to catch up with Books in Northport. I'm almost through with my first reading of MARRY OR BURN and will have to overcome my speechless awe over Valerie Trueblood's writing so that I can say something sensible about the book. Wow.P. J.

I hope you have a lovely continuation of fall. I know I noticed the roses here still blooming. Though they seem a little tired, like they'd welcome some snow. Not me though. Enough snow will arrive regardless, the later it shows up the closer we are to spring. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00824027366993286152noreply@blogger.com
