Make do

I figured that if it's going to be all cold and snowy (it is still February!), I might as well make use of the weather and go cross country skiing!

I went out to Hudson Mills yesterday and had so much fun that I am going to go back out today (even though I kinda over did it and can't move my arms).

It's not the Rio Grande, but this weekends walk on the Huron River made the dogs very happy.

What is better than stopping by your friend's flower shop, having a chat and picking up some roses?

Nothing, that's what.

Long weekend

So, it's the last weekend of summer, sigh, and I started it out right by having breakfast with our friend Andrew at Selma Cafe.

Selma Cafe is one of Ann Arbor's great things.  Every Friday, Jeff and Lisa open up their home to a hundred or so guests for a breakfast made of seasonal, regionally produced food, prepared by a rotating group of fantastic Ann Arbor based chefs.

The proceeds go toward supporting local agriculture, and to developing a local foods infrastructure.  For all the (unfair) bad rap it gets about its climate- Michigan is an incredible place to grow food.

But the best thing about Selma Cafe is that it's just a damned nice place to have breakfast with a damned fine group of people.  I really need to make a point of going more often.
