Go Micro!

It’s that time of year when we all want comfort food, but feel like we should be eating healthier. At the farm, there isn’t a lot growing actively at this time of year, so we supplement some of our lack of veggies in Michigan with microgreens. They’re very easy to grow from seed at home and can be grown year-round indoors, regardless of climate.

Looking Back, Moving Forward

I’m always excited about the possibilities and opportunities a new year promises to bring, but I also like to look back and reflect on the year that has passed. In 2023, there were many special things for me and some of my beloved family members to enjoy and celebrate.

May Reading List

May is the perfect time to rediscover the simple pleasure of reading. As spring settles in and summer approaches, life slows just enough for quiet moments. Warmer days, blooming trees, and longer evenings invite us to step outside, open a book, and unwind. Reading this time of year feels different. Whether on a porch, in a park, or on a beach towel, it becomes less about rushing and more about savoring stories. In a busy season, reading offers a gentle pause. It lets the mind wander as the world comes alive, making books simple, calming companions.

An Infinite GodDo you ever look in awe at the expanse of the night sky that stretches beyond human comprehension?

Have you viewed pictures from the Hubble Telescope, like the Tapestry of Blazing Starbirth or the Ring Nebula, that light up the darkness with bursts of magnificent color? Have you pondered the quantity of stars—too numerous to count? Have you paused to wonder what it’s all for? What are we to learn or understand from it? Is there purpose in it all? Is there something, or someone, out there?

Editor’s Letter

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter holiday and enjoyed a fun or relaxing spring break. Taking time to focus on what matters most—family, friends, and personal well-being—is always worthwhile.

Editor’s Letter March 2026

There is no doubt in my mind that this has been a long, cold winter. We’ve all felt it. We’ve all complained. I like to stay active throughout the year, and I love being outside soaking up the fresh air and vitamin D that Michigan offers. For the past few years, my husband and I have taken early morning walks in our neighborhood with our dog. Using my fitness app, we measured that walking the entire neighborhood equals 3.1 miles. That’s perfect when the weather is great—but not so much when the roads are snow-covered and the cold wind stings your face.
