Late August Morning at Emma's
Aug 25, 2008 - 7:56:46 AM
Hands clasped, softly
we walk the bed of cedar,
a new wind out of the north,
stop to watch a diving loon,
admire rocks at land's edge
awash in teal and cobalt blues,
snakes--two of them--faded brown,
an Indian paintbrush
swaying in orange.  Now
overhead the whisper of wings--

November

There is always that last day,

the one you never want to see

and yet what is more beautiful?

This is the day before the day

when November settles in.

This is the day out in the woods

when last silver moths

are winging from moss to leaf,

the day of the last chorus

of swans in the bay.

I believe in the new moon
and the wind that stirs
this delicate bounty of spring.

Living in the Lighthouse on Rock Island
Dec 28, 2005 - 1:18:21 PM

Nick and his family lived here in the lighthouse for a whole week!

Hi, my name is Nick. My family and I stayed in the Potawatomie Lighthouse on Rock Island this summer. This is what it was like.

First we took the car ferry to Washington Island. One thing you should know about Washington Island is that everyone waves at you. Next we took another smaller ferry over to Rock Island. Once we got to the island we loaded our gear onto the DNR's four wheeler and rode to the lighthouse along a small dirt path. This was a highlight of the trip!
