Barronett Bob (AKA Corn Man)

Posted in Business Profiles1 Comment

This past month I was reminded about the power of social media and journalism 101. While perusing Facebook, I saw a post that was being shared with hundreds about one of my favorite farmers in the world — Barronett Bob. Or, just the Corn Man. The rumor was he wasn’t going to be selling this…… Continue reading Barronett Bob (AKA Corn Man)

Hot Enough?

Posted in Business ProfilesLeave a comment

Moon Lake summers are awesome… right up to those few days where temperatures surpass 80 degrees. It isn’t the heat but instead the humidity that drives me crazy. Crazy enough that after years of debate, my husband finally realized that if we didn’t get central air, our marriage might not survive. (It helped that I…… Continue reading Hot Enough?

Predator Round-Up, Sea Cave Mayhem, Playing Hookie and an Unwarranted Pity Party

Posted in TravelLeave a comment

Newsflash: Last week I had an unwarranted pity party. It started during my 5-hour drive home from the UP after a weekend of bonding with women at a 3-day Becoming an Outdoor Woman camp (more on that experience in a different post). I left the camp recharged and excited about life. But then, I had…… Continue reading Predator Round-Up, Sea Cave Mayhem, Playing Hookie and an Unwarranted Pity Party

I’m Dreaming of a Green Christmas…

Last January I had the pleasure of spending an afternoon with my good friend Clare Hintz of Elsewhere Farm. While I always enjoy hanging with her, this encounter was particularly special because I was drilling her about her year-round greenhouse for Northern Gardener Magazine. For years, Clare has inspired me with her passion for local…… Continue reading I’m Dreaming of a Green Christmas…

YOLO: The Wild Waterfalls of Northern Iron County, Wisconsin

Posted in Reflections, Travel1 Comment

This isn’t meant to be a political post. Over the course of the past year, news from Iron County has inundated my Facebook feed via a flurry of political, economic and environmental posts. The posts were often triggered by a proposed mine that may or may not ever happen. But buried within the posts were…… Continue reading YOLO: The Wild Waterfalls of Northern Iron County, Wisconsin

Amnicon Falls: The Unassuming State Park of the North

Posted in Travel2 Comments

Amnicon Falls is one of those often overlooked but beloved state parks near my home in northwest Wisconsin. The park is small compared to nearby Jay Cooke State Park. It is often lost in the hype and marketing of the North Shore and the countless parks and waterfalls that dot the shoreline. By some respects,…… Continue reading Amnicon Falls: The Unassuming State Park of the North

Meet Hannah

Posted in Business ProfilesLeave a comment

My first memory of Hannah Stonehouse Hudson is of a newspaper ad I saw many moons ago. It was an ad for her business that featured a wedding shot where the bride’s face was in focus and her dress was blurred from spinning in circles. Now knowing Hannah, it seems appropriate. Somehow, despite her entire…… Continue reading Meet Hannah

My favorite Bayfield County Greenhouse Sales…

Posted in TravelLeave a comment

I’m a planner. I love pouring over gardening catalogs all winter long dreaming up raised garden bed plans, flowering combos, hardy perennials and edible shrubs. While I implement many of these plans, my black thumb and sandy soil cancels out many of my efforts. This annual kill-off provides the perfect opportunity to frequent some of…… Continue reading My favorite Bayfield County Greenhouse Sales…
