My nickname is Peach, and I‘m a mitten girl from the Great Lakes state through and through. Speaking of that, the tagged book is the best book I‘ve ever read on the subject. Non-fiction that reads like fiction.

Thankful always for my wonderful husband, and the lovely weather we‘ve had for the past week.

Thanks for the tag @RamsFan1963 !

1. 60s today, 40s and snow tomorrow. Spring in Michigan.
2. Lilacs. They won‘t be here for awhile, but I love them. And May is definitely still spring here!
3. The Living Great Lakes, by Jerry Dennis. Nonfiction that reads like fiction. I‘ve given it as a gift and lent it so many times! In fact, I need a new copy!

“We are earth-divers, and the earth is made of stories.” I loved this. A perfect combination of adventure memoir, nature treatise, plea for respect toward our environment, and love letter to the Great Lakes, this was an adventure unlike anything I‘ve read since “The Songlines.” If you love the Great Lakes, this is the perfect addition to your library.

This has been on my TBR for literal years. I am 100% in love with the Great Lakes, and so thankful to be a #MittenLitten. In September, my husband and I are heading to MI's Bois Blanc Island for an off-grid getaway, and I think this may have to be my read! What could be better than reading this on a Great Lakes island?! #LetsTravelJuly
