We took another quick trip this past weekend, first to Saugatuck in West Michigan for a little shopping (let us know if you need a great restaurant recommendation in the area that we got from friends), then down to Indiana to meet the Barton's parents at Purdue to watch the Boilermakers win against Illinois. Doesn't that sound like some good Midwestern fun, folks? Well it certainly was, and as a bonus during our drive time we got to see the leaves change to their vibrant palate of fall colors right before our very eyes. And then when we arrived home, we saw that the trees on our street (pictured) had themselves turned a wonderful flaming red while we were gone!
It's my favorite Michigan weather time of year, no doubt. Despite the shorter days and the dread of the coming winter, brisk walks in the crisp air with the crunch of leaves underfoot can give one a renewed sense of purpose, and any excuse to eat apple pie is welcome in my book! Hanging with friends around a campfire, at football games or a cider mill, or seeing families outside playing in the piles of leaves just warms my little heart :). Cheers to your fall happiness!
