Beautiful post, Michelle. I have always been fascinated from afar by these enormous bodies of fresh water, and what they mean to the people who live there.... and I LOVE the term 'sweetwater seas' 💙

We are lucky to be so near these watery beauties. Thank you, Larry--and for the beautiful photo of Erie at sunset that you sent! I haven't spent as much time near Erie or Ontario as I have the other three.

Thank you, Michelle! The ‘water-baby’ inside of me delighted in this writing. It might be my favorite from your Coming to Ground piece so far. I love our beautiful mitten and our amazingly lakes - oh the amazing lakes! I love the sweet and sometimes sorrowful history of this place and people. And I believe with my whole heart that we can do what it takes to preserve and protect this magnificent home. ❤️

I thought of you and your water-baby ways and plans to drive up to Huron for a dip when I was writing this piece, Susan! 💙😍 Thank you for your whole heart love for this place. One's love is no small thing.💖
