A Writer's Club Reunion In Green Bay, Wisconsin, Where They Grow Apples And Grapes Developed By The University

A writer's club reunion in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where they grow apples and grapes developed by the University of Minnesota and fit their young with cheeseheads as soon as the fontanelle fuses. Nearby, in Belgian-settled Champion, there is a chapel marking the only church-approved Marian apparition in the United States. "Apparition soil" is sold across the street for $10 a jar and bone fragments from the 12 apostles are on display in the basement.

July 1-2, sun

This side of the summer solstice, everything seems to be getting bushy -- notably the cosmos, nasturtium and scarlet runner bean arch. Suddenly in bloom this week are the zinnias, started two months ago, and a couple nearly deserted ranunculus.
