Teresa and I have lived right next to this lake since 2003. This diary was an idea I had for a long time but have never got around to implementing until January 2012. My plan is to give a brief description of the lake each day. My intent is to get an inkling of just how many faces Superior has and how rapidly those expressions change. This diary idea started when I recognized that my experience living next to Superior was quite different than my experience growing up and visiting the lake a few times a year. My vacation memories of Superior in the summer was of foggy days where I couldn't see the lake unless hiking along the shore. I love experiencing Lake Superior that way but I quickly realized it is by no means the dominant summer face as I had expected.
