Morning Mist

Having to run errands can bring unexpected blessings. My drive south to Leland this morning to distribute publicity for Erin’s reading and signing (2 p.m. tomorrow, Saturday, at Dog Ears) gave me a chance to see this beautiful mist over Lake Leelanau. And after putting up a notice about the bookstore event at Stone House Bread, I treated myself to 15 minutes with READING THE LANDSCAPE by Watts, enjoyed with coffee and scone and learned that the designation Michx. after a plant name does not have anything to do with Michigan but is an indication that the plant was first described by André Michaux, who collected plants for Louis XVI for his gardens at Versailles.
