Summer outfit with white shorts and halter top
How was your Memorial Day weekend? Well, here we all are on hump day so things are back to normal! For me, that means heading back home to the “May gray, June gloom” that is present along the coast. The sun normally does break through but with mostly sunny days year-round, the gloom gets old…

There are several locations in the area, including Glen Arbor, Sutton’s Bay, and Traverse City, and we started with the closest one here in Leland. The owner, Lizzi, was very sweet and allowed…
Rolling on the river…and Lake Leelanau
