Greetings from the 12 gallon...and a nice little celestial pearl danio 🙂
Most folks would agree that finding your first Petoskey stone is a Michigander rite of passage. But do you know exactly what a Petoskey stone is? A fossil! Specifically, a fossil of long-gone Hexagonaria coral. This coral lived in prehistoric Michigan, when waters were warm, shallow, and even tropic! Once the Hexagonaria coral had fossilized into the Petoskey stones we know today, they were plucked from ancient Michigan bedrock by glaciers, and spread all over the state as the glaciers melted and moved.
You can learn even more about our famous state rock in the Petoskey Stone Guide by Dan R. Lynch. Check our website at www.shoppeninsulas.com for a special offer, bundling the field guide and a genuine polished Petoskey stone into one gift! Perfect for out of towners who want to learn more about this fascinating fossil, or Michigan natives who want to up their rock-hunting game. 📸: lindzjoy1188

Dreaming of spending time in Michigan's magical Hemingway country this summer. I missed last summer after years of annual pilgrimages. Not this year! The stuff of bookish dreams ...
This is my all-time Hemingway quote. Isn't it lovely?

[New book drop!] Today we launch Wildsam's newest field guide: Northern Michigan.
Water is everything here, even ashore. Glaciers that hollowed out the Great Lakes and pocked the land with inland waters also sculpted high dunes looking out over turquoise blues and plots where cherry and apple orchards bloom and divvy the rolling hills.
Traveling the roads and shorelines—whether by kayak or car under the Tunnel of Trees—we visit lakeside towns with charming shops and lighthouses. We sample a vibrant food and drink scene showcasing the gifts of this land and water, and pause for forest hikes, rock hunts and water launching points to natural exploration and awe. 🌊
Featuring:
-interviews about Michigan creativity with theaccidentalsmusic , sailing with jessiebrave , farming with Nic Theisen of Loma Farm and farmclubtc , jam making with April Butters of americanspoon , Indigenous culture with Lois Beardslee and Frank Ettawageshik, literary landmarks with Chris Struble of the Michigan Hemingway Society, water advocacy with Liz Kirkwood of for.love.of.water , and tavern tales (and fishing) with Tim Barr of Art's Tavern
-original essays by Chef ilianaregan_and_co , and Anne-Marie Oomen, as well as excerpted writing from Ernest Hemingway and Jane Johnston Schoolcraft
-illustrations by the brilliant lindsaygardnerart
-and the essential and trusted local knowledge of contributing writers: maestier and Jacob Wheeler

I love this quote from the Tao Te Ching.
-
Remember, energy comes to us in stillness with breath. So does health and healing…
-
If you are constantly in motion, stressed out, and in 6th gear then you WILL burn out faster.
-
Take care of yourself this season. Take care of your tribe.
-
Breathe and relax with each other.
-
Slow down and savor the most important presents which is your “presence” with each other. -

On a chilly mid May morning we were preparing to work outside all day, I squinted to see a faint second line on a pregnancy test. ⠀
⠀
I hid it in a drawer and went outside. “Too early to get excited” I told myself. But I was so excited already.
⠀
So all summer, the dahlias, the garden, the plants- it meant more to me. I was obsessed. A history of loss gives you a real grip on anxiety during those first few months so when the dahlias were doing well I did some magical thinking that I was doing well. ⠀
⠀
Another week I kept the garden alive. Another week I stayed pregnant. ⠀
⠀
When the zinnias floundered I wondered if it was some weird ass sign. ⠀
⠀
But more so than grasping for control in a patch full of plants, they were my marker. My timeline. Of how slow, and painstakingly patient ya gotta be. And a reminder for the 2938373272th time that my thoughts & anxieties do not have to be truths. ⠀
⠀
We are expecting another baby this winter. We are overjoyed. There is no part of my fertility journey that has ever followed the obsessive, control freak timeline I set out for our 'family plan' 5 years ago- but forced going with the flow has been both the biggest lesson & gift in all of it. ⠀
⠀
To my sisters who this announcement meets in the trenches of your 'waiting period' I see you. I was you. There is a lot of light on the other side- and I promise you the shitty wait doesn't define your life but the strength you gained will. ⠀
⠀
Clinks to our little Wolfpack, we are so excited. ⠀
⠀

It's National Fossil Day! If you're from Michigan, you'll probably recognize these beauties. Have you gone looking for Petoskey stones? These fossils were once living coral, but turned to stone over time. The Petoskey stone is Michigan's state stone and is only found in this region of the world. As a reminder, only 25 lbs. of stones may be taken by an individual from state land per year.

It’s no secret that we’re road tripping right now. We are staying in Petoskey, Michigan for the next 2 nights. While looking for coffee this morning in the clubhouse, I found a “take a book, leave a book” shelf! Unfortunately every book I have with me is one I haven’t read so I can’t participate...unless I manage to get a book read in the next 48 hours!
.
See any good ones here I should work extra hard to swap for?

We were stunned to have a very special group of readers come by the store for a visit today! Vice Presidential candidate timwalz his wife Gwen, & daughter Hope stopped by the store to peruse our shelves.
Tim talked with Matt about some of his favorite reads which included Andy Weir’s “Project Hail Mary,” and Adrian Tchaikovsky’s “Children of Time.” And in return, Matt suggested he pick up “Recursion” by Blake Crouch and Reilly shared her passion for “Red Rising” by Pierce Brown!
Hope found our vinyl section and picked up “Dope Lemon” and TSwift’s “1989.”
Thank you to the Walz family for taking the time to come by the store and making this a moment we will never forget. It was an honor to meet ALL of you!
PS: Of course it was Taylor’s Version and yes, Governor Walz is reading True Gretch! 😉
