“As busy as the world gets, there are still times when things move a little slower. When life is a little simpler. When the local color looks good enough to eat. Welcome to Harvest Time. When Mother Nature puts on a whole new wardrobe. And we look at life in a whole new way. So pull out that favorite sweater and grab yourself a little piece, of Pure Michigan.”
Wonderful 30 second clip that captures the feeling and beauty of autumn.
Good Sunday Morning.
So beautiful..you can feel the cooler air. And yet, how did we get to this season so quickly?
It was like a light summer. Summer to fall overnight. My favorite season though. I could have fall run all year…
I love fall too–want to keep it in my grasp–yet it fades away as does all seasons–I will enjoy it though–
Yes…
Cool, crisp mornings, warmer days, and no humidity. By far my favorite time of year.
Me too…
Notice that there were no techie gadgets in this clip? No people with wires in their head, no cell phones or smart phones. Just old fashioned, uncrowded scenes. A slower pace. Nice.
Yes, good catch Anneli
No Michigan. I’m a Buckeye (laughing).
I have to say despite my feelings about that team, upper Michigan is awesome
Ah yes. A Buckeye. Didn’t know you visited the Upper Peninsula. You know that I went to school there right? Any my wife and family are from there? Nothing like fall in the U.P.
Thank you sharing info about our beautiful state. 🙂 I have a brother that lives in the upper peninsula of Michigan, and I always visit in the fall (this year it will be a little later – October) – and the photographs I’ve taken are lovely. It is worth the 11 hour drive (and I’m still in Michigan, driving to Michigan…) Thanks to Vicki Flaherty for sharing the post with me. 🙂
Hi Maureen. Thank you. Susan (my wife) was born and raised in Marquette (Upper Peninsula) and I went to school at Northern Michigan. Where is your Brother?
Aha! I love Susan’s home town! 🙂 I try to stop there at the Huron Mountain Bakery (PURE MICHIGAN HEAVEN!) as I come and go, buying kringle for my brother’s team in Houghton. He has a company there (Monte Consulting) and they actually live north of Hancock on M203 out on the Keeweenaw. 🙂 Their home is right on lake superior… it is amazingly remote, amazingly beautiful – well, you know! Good to talk to you about it, David! What did Susan study at Northern?
Maureen, Houghton-Hancock – big snow country. And Keeweenaw is beautiful country. He’s blessed. Susan and I both studied Business at NMU.
PS did you also go to Northern?
Yes, we are both alums
You must be longing for that part of the country, just about now. The air is super crisp, you can sleep with the window open and a wool blanket listening to the rustling of the leaves.
Yes, Michael, before the brutal winters come the majestic falls. LOVE your description of it.
*snort* It’s still in the high 90s every day in my town. So pissed that I missed a monsoonal thunderstorm here yesterday – I was at the beach trying to cool off.
But thanks for the nice cool thoughts.
🙂 It was a spectacular day here yesterday. Sat outside reading all day.
autumn is truly my favorite season, from your fellow michigander )
Really? I thought you were in Australia?
just visiting there for most of the summer, i’m an ann arbor-ite, big weekend here )
Ahhhhhh. And Michigan rolls to a big win. In front of a record crowd. Did you go to the game?
watched and celebrated at our local irish pub – ironic)
Revenge delivered cold in an Irish pub.
Lovely little slice of fall, David, thank you. We’ve got a chill in the air here and I’ve already spied a few maples beginning to don their autumnal attire. I, too, love this time of year…
Ahhhh, you live in God’s country this time of the year Lori.
Indeed….
Ahhh..so lovely. and I am sooo ready. But it’s still in the high 90’s here…where I am, summer just hangs on, and on, and on! I will be patient!
High 90’s. Ouch.
I have to tell you that, living here in MI for 13 years, I’ve never gotten used to the vividness of the fall season. Never. All those sugar maples just pop with color — and it’s so beautiful that it’s nearly distracting to go on a country drive. Which one must do! Going on
Wed 🙂
MJ
Ahhhh, lucky you MJ
