I’m lucky to live in one of the world’s ‘last places’, a place still relatively untouched by expansion and extraction. While a stand of old growth pines are a rarity due to logging and fisheries in Bayfield aren’t shipping 12,000 barrels of whitefish and trout a year like they were in 1881; Lake Superior is still crystal clear and cold, white and red pines poke their heads up over the forest canopy and I can see every single star in the night sky. These are worth saving.
A beautiful post, one to really savor, by Mary at The Cookery Maven.
Mary first came to Bayfield, Wisconsin, a dozen years ago via the Isle of Skye, the family sailboat, and found "home." Four years ago she and Ted packed up their five children and four dogs and moved to the Bayfield Peninsula. Today she co-owns Good Thyme Restaurant & Catering in Washburn. Mary loves to write about her peninsula life with good food, great family and friends and, of course, the Big Lake. We're pleased to feature Mary's blog as part of our regular blogger favorites.
