Thanks Mike!! Great to see you!

Thank you Mike for all you do and your devotion to the Clearing. You will always be known for your service to this iconic gem!!

Always love the morning mosey.

Nice as always to see Mike making the rounds. I noticed him taking a look at a birdhouse in this Mosey (unless it was the July Mosey which I watched sequentially), and wondered if other bird habitats at The Clearning might be a subject for a future mosey.

Lovely visit to the Clearing as always...glad to hear Mike & Eric will continue to produce these for us that can't get there as often.

Me, too!

Yes, I am thrilled to hear the Moseys will go on!

I'm so glad you will continue these.

Nicely done as always Mike - so happy to hear that you and Erik will continue these most excellent moseys

The Door County sky in the background looks bee-utiful. I certainly hope that Mike can continue these moseys when he becomes ED Emeritus. Congratulations on the upcoming retirement!

Always look forward to your Monthy Mosey's. Congratulations on your retirement. It is a wonderful time in life's circle.

Congratulations on your retirement Michael. I enjoy your videos and the knowledge you pass along. With all your extra time can we look forward to 2 videos a month 😄? All the best in your next chapter!

Thanks again Mike for one of your informative walks. I wish you would continue to do these after retirement! Maybe once a month?😊

Thank you Mike; I love the updates and the Latin naming review too. I found that one challenge in retirement after a long career dedicated to a place and its people is, changing my perspective and comments from "we..." to "they..." You'll be fine - Cindy and retirement will welcome you with a big smile and open arms (and maybe holding a beverage and a garden tool also).

I learn more and more on every Mosey! Thanks Mike & Erik

Nice! 👍

I love the entrance road into The Clearing--it feels like you're driving miles into the woods. Like Mike, I was surprised to learn that The Clearing is less than a quarter of a square mile. It sure doesn't feel like it. I have underutilized the trails over 30 or so years, but this summer, I think I'm going to do some exploring.

Just lovely--even the commercial messages, and once again a great musical background. Bravo all round!

Love the improvements. Who even knew that the Professor's *had* a west side door!

Love your Morning Moseys!! ❤🌲🍁🤎🦌 Lisa Sokol

Thanks - I always learn - and I always enjoy your moseys Mike

Great job Mike, I think you should continue the mosey walks even after you retire!

Maybe Mike can come back and keep doing the morning moseys?

Thank you so much for your mosey through the Clearing. I have enjoyed them very much, I will miss them when you retire. It has been fun to learn about the Clearing . The plants and trees as well as sharing your love for the clearing. Thank you Mike

Dear Mike. My heart is heavy. You have been such a caring person as far as the clearing is concerned. I have enjoyed the morning mosey"s more than can express. The clearing will aways have a special place in my heart. I pray all goes well and will see you in October. My prayers will be with you as you move on. I am sending you my love, hugs and prayers..iris

Looking forward to you strolling by these plants later when they are in fruit

Learned a new term - involucre - you're so smart. Thanks Mike

Excellent! Thank you.

What great additions to the clearing. My heart burst with joy seeing how you care so much for this precious gift we share in our love for the clearing. The clearing is blessed to have you

Those hawthorn labels would make great lapel pins. Any possibiilty?

always fulfilling to complete projects - beautiful!

Your timeline looks great!

I need to watch it again and take notes! I have cedars on my property but I will have to go out and look at them. Are there other kinds of cedars in northeast Wisconsin? I'm also going to check my pines and there is no doubt I've got hemlocks! Thanks so much! I found this month to be a fascinating Morning Mosey.

Nice job ladies! You reacted well to the obvious interruption of Mike.

This was a fun Mosey!

So Gem-Studded Puffballs. Edible?

Thanks Mike and Erik for keeping up this new Clearing tradition. I look forward to the Mosey every month!

Thank you for your color commentary - beautiful and most informative. I am surmising that the Clearing has no American Larch (Larix Laricana) because they are spectacular in the fall too.

Wonderful morning hike. Would like to see more pathways and architecture features of the Clearing buildings. Haven't been up there in 30 yrs.

One forgets, sometimes, that The Clearing is not frozen in time, but a continual work in progress.

Very beautiful place and very healthy plants.

So wonderful to see you. I miss all of you.

Thank you! Looking forward to being there in October!

Thank you!

I love the morning mosey. This one was very informative and interesting. It shows how much love goes into every aspect . I have to express my thanks to all who contributed to making the clearing even more special. Thank you Mike for sharing with us each month.

Always amazed at how fast the winter coats come off in Door County!

🤣🤣🤣

I'm still LOVING the morning mosies! Thanks for the update on meals! Looking forward to my class though it's fall! I need to enjoy "spring" (PLEASE!) and summer first.

Thank you. again for sharing what is going on in the clearing. Where is you hat Mike? I can't wait to spend time at the Clearing again. Hugs always iris

Wonderful stuff. I gotta do some more walking this summer. With these Moseys, I'd find it helpful for a brief shot of The Clearing map for each stop, showing us right where Mike is. Interesting background music as always--bravo Erik!
