There has been some wet and humid weather here in mid Michigan, and some of us have had activities interrupted by storms. Everything around here is gloriously verdant. The gardens and flowers are loving this summer. A concert was ended abruptly in Saginaw when thunder storms overtook the outdoor event. There are stories of numerous break-ins in the neighorhood of some of our friends. Meanwhile, many BIRCHies are still running all over the countryside celebrating summer. ====
