Everything I ever learned I learned growing up U.P. North . . . Wednesday, July 10, 2013. The Hatch is ON! Think how fast a year flies by. A month flies by. A week flies by. Think how fast a day flies by. A Mayfly’s life lasts but a day. To live and die. How fast it goes. A Mayfly flies a single day. The daylight dies and darkness grows. How fast it flies. A mayfly’s life. How fast it goes. This poem is from the book The Llama Who Had No Pajama. By Mary Ann Hoberman. Hoberman's poems, accompanied by ...

U.P. North Life: Paddling Drummond Island
http://drummondislandlife.blogspot.com/2013/03/paddling-drummond-island.html
Everything I ever learned I learned growing up U.P. North . . . Thursday, March 7, 2013. There is no rushing when paddling. When you paddle you go at the pace of the water and that pace ties you into a flow that is older than life itself on this planet. Acceptance of that pace, even for a day, changes us, reminds us of other rhythms beyond the sound of our own heartbeats. Always plan your paddle and paddle your plan! If you need help laying out your route, simply stop by the DITA office. Our local ex...

Everything I ever learned I learned growing up U.P. North . . . Tuesday, August 14, 2012. There is Time . . . Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience". There is time – and that is often the hardest thing for me to acknowledge. There is time today. Unfortunately, I am often too worried about returning on time, finishing on time, running out of time that. I forget it is time to take time. Time to walk slower – to match my gait to the leisurely pace of those whose path crosses mine. Let everyone kn...

Everything I ever learned I learned growing up U.P. North . . . Thursday, May 31, 2012. Shooting, NOT Looting! Dad likes to talk. How some are bred. And others built from coral bones.

The Island offers a rock nut like me more to explore - and discover! Among my favorite hunting sites are the Fossil Ledges. Links to this post. Friday, May 25, 2012.

U.P. North Life: Together We Make a Family . . .
http://drummondislandlife.blogspot.com/2014/04/together-we-make-family.html
Everything I ever learned I learned growing up U.P. North . . . Sunday, April 27, 2014. Together We Make a Family . . . Our family. We are a strange clan of characters making our way through life sharing DNA and toothpaste. Borrowing money and divvying up marshmallows . Inflicting pain and hugging to heal it all in the same moment. We love, laugh, fight and defend. At times we struggle to figure out just what the common thread is that binds us all together. Our family - our Clan - is a circle of love and...
