A Saturday in May

This is my friend Joe Scheidler's new book. Joe and his wife Lee are naturalists who know and care more about the environment than anyone I know. He's also an extremely talented writer.

Joe can be found on Substack or at Black Dog Writers meetings where we have a really good time and listen to each other's work.

When So Much Seems Right

This book is a series of essays on the state of our natural world and the human impact that shape our future.

"Joe writes from the heart, with deep understanding of his home place and also his place in the planetary ecosystem transformed by our own species. Acutely aware of what Aldo Leopold called "a world of wounds", Joe's message is nevertheless one of joy in the natural events that surround us all, if we take the time to pay close attention. If we embrace the real world, where nature still thrives, we can find solace and even hope amidst human societies hurtling down a perilous path." Rolf O. Peterson

When her son and daughter-in-law buy her house and she has sold and given away everything else that’s not attached to her heartstrings, she packs up what remains and goes to Harper Loch to spend time with her best friend. She’ll decide what to do and where to go from there. No matter how much the handsome friend of her friends annoys her.

Jesse Grant comes to Harper Loch to help out his niece for a few weeks. He’s retired from the navy, his boys are grown, and he’s at loose ends. But he really likes the little lake community in Michigan—he thinks he might stay. Long widowed, he has no interest in getting married again, and neither does the redhead he can’t seem to avoid. And yet ...

On Wednesday, May 27, from 1:00 to 3:00 PM, Joe DeRozier and I will be selling books at Blair Ridge's Senior Health and Wellness Day. There will be lots of stuff going on, and I'm pretty sure there will be donuts involved, too.

Next week we'll be back to our semi-regularly scheduled blogpost. Until then, my thanks to those who made the ultimate sacrifice in love and service for our nation. Wishing you a good week. Be nice to somebody.
