News from the Week
Stories from the week included a pair of features from our newest writer, Cherie Spaulding. One was on cherry blossoms and the other was about morels! We also had an essay from James D. Sprattmoran and a feature on the Northport Omena Summit II scheduled for next week and a cool photo from Sleeping Bear Dunes.
The Week’s Weather
We had an amazing weekend – lots of sun and 70s that popped the sweet cherry blossoms. Some rain yesterday and overnight probably did the same for the morels.

Cherry Blossom & Morel Report
Cherry blossoms are popping out, just in time for the blossom tour. Morels have been out, but stunted by lack of rain. The warm temps we are expecting this week should have them bulking out.
