A Baby Arrives...
Just a week after we told you about all the babies coming to the Republic, the first one has arrived! Bob and Steph had their second child, a happy, healthy boy named Robert Hawthorn at 11:30 p.m. on Saturday night. Bob, Steph, Colebrook and Hawthorn are resting in their cabin in the woods near Glen Arbor. Bob will be back next week with more details...stay tuned.

Cherry Crop Looking Good. Blossoms in 10 days...
Blossom Tour this weekend!!
Don Gregory, a cherry farmer near Suttons Bay told me that things are looking pretty good. The cherry crop suffered little damage, and it looks like it will be another great cherry year. Southern Michigan's cherry trees are in full bloom, and the blossoms look to be about 10 days away from full bloom up here. We've had some rain which will also help the crop. The Leelanau County Blossom Tour is this weekend. There is no fee to take the guided tour, just get on a bus and ride. For information on the tour stop by the Conservancy's Page.
