The Flying Pig kinda catches you by surprise as you're driving along the Lake Michigan Lakeshore Route in Algoma. When you see a two-story grey building with garden items all around, a big topiary spelling the word "Believe", and a winged pig on the roof, you take notice. So one day a couple years ago, Lady Xanthi and I stopped in to take a gander.
       This is a place you'll want to go. The creative magick there is nothing short of amazing: all year round. The building itself serves as a small cafe, art gallery, and gift shop, with the art and items - made locally by artists and crafters from the surrounding area - displayed on two floors.
       The outside is best enjoyed during the warmer months, so you can take your time wandering around the statuary, scultures, topiaries, wooden bridges, benches, and other things you can buy for your garden. There's even a small grove of trees back and to the side you can wander through.
       When I told them about the Domain and Realms, and my intention of putting the Flying Pig in the National Register(which with my absentmindedness, I finally did so now), they sent me a free t-shirt with a note that said "A little gift, since we both believe in the same thing..." On the front, it says, "I believe...", and on the back it says "that pigs can fly."
       Methinks that's not the only thing they believe in... Best thing for you to do is go there if you happen to be in the area, and see for yourself. Like that topiary suggests,... just "Believe"...
