The season of changes.

The nights are chilly.
We had frost this morning.
The boat came out of the water today.
It's dark by 8:00 p.m.
and I am baking constantly....

Hunters are getting excited about buck season.
Clothing and décor has changed over to heavier fabrics, and darker colors.
The markets are packed with pumpkins and cornstalks, apple cider and donuts.

You see canning and freezing supplies in all of the grocery stores.
Scented candles are everywhere!

People's yards are void of lawn furniture.
The canals, and docks are being emptied of boats, jet skiis, and pontoons.

Gardens are being cleaned up, and bushes are getting cut back.
Urns, and birdbaths are emptied, as well as flower pots and containers.

People are preparing their motor homes for the long trip south for the Winter.
Homes are being winterized. 

The season of so many changes.
Fall, here, is a time of preparation.
Hunkering down for "what's to come".
Living in the upper portion of the lower peninsula of Michigan means shorter Summers, and longer Winters. We get lots of cold, wind, and snow....for what seems sooooo long. You learn to adjust...or go south.  
I am going to try something new this year. Snowshoeing.  Hopefully, that will help give me something fun to tackle during the long Winter months.  Plus, working on some miniatures should keep me busy.
In the meantime, I will take my time, and enjoy Fall.....trying some new recipes, and looking forward to the upcoming holidays with my family.
Have a great week!

  1. We are entering my favorite season, FALL! I love the beautiful colors and weeding out not just the gardens in preparation for winter but also in my life. The fallen leaves remind me of me, changing, curling up, the surfaces crinkled, the lines more noticeable, and like my hair, constantly turning different colors. When you walk through the fallen leaves, you leave behind a cleared path so you can see from where you've come. The coziness sets in and the blaze of fires lick the crisp air as you sit and allow yourself to be mesmerized by the flames. It's like time slows down and you become more observant of the beauty that surrounds you. And it's a great time to gather with your best friend.... See you soon

    1. iI’m lauriel from New York, United States. I lost my job a few months back after my divorce with my wife. I tried everything positive to make sure I took good care of my kids but all failed, and I was in debt which makes everything worse. I was kicked out of my home and i had to live with my neighbor after pleading with her to allow me to stay with her for some days while I figured out how to get a home which she agreed to, but no one was willing to help anymore. I bumped into this page from google and I was excited about this, then I contacted the hackersBill Dean. I had just $200, so I pleaded with them to help me because of my condition but they never accepted. I believed in this, so I managed to pawn a few things and got $500. I ordered the $10,000 card and I got my card delivered to me by Ups 4 days later. I never believed my eyes! I was excited and upset as well, I managed to withdraw $2000 on the ATM and $2500 the second day. I went to Walmart and a grocery store and bought a couple of things for $3000. The card got blocked the third day and I contacted them and I was told it's a mistake from my end. I’m so happy, I have started all over again and have a good apartment with my kids you can contact him through is via email (globalatmcardhackingservice@gmail.com)or his whatsap contact (+1 301-887-5071)

  2. One of the best changes is the food. It's a whole different way of cooking when fall comes. The oven can finally be used and the smells smoking from the kitchen are wonderful. It's especially a time for family gatherings too. Halloween,and Thanksgiving will be celebrated with mine. We have pretty long winters here too but I don't go south. Just turn up the heat.

  3. Such a lovely posting as you share with us the happenings around your part of the world.
    Your home is exquisite!

    Here in Colorado, we are busy getting ready and doing all the things that need looked after before winter arrive. We are to get 3 to 6 inches of snow tomorrow.
    We tucked our motor home away this week as well as put away all the outside furniture. I'd like to be one of those who go south in our motor home, not yet, in a couple more years. 😊

    I too have been enjoying baking, walking out in the lovely fallen leaves and relaxed with my daily Bible reading beside the fire on those cool early mornings.
    Fall has graced herself with such beauty here this year!

    Good for you starting up snowshoeing, you will so enjoy being out on those gorgeous winter days. I love snowshoeing and we have some awesome places to go, though it's perfect right near our home.

    So nice stopping in for a visit with you Debbie, you have put a smile on my face. ❤

  4. I just don't know how you all make it through your very hard cold snowy winters up there. Missouri is bad enough.
    We are to get our first 30's tomorrow evening so I'll bring in flower pots tomorrow morning.

  5. Your home looks so cozy and beautiful...looks like your loveseat is ready for reading, coffee and tea, and keeping warm. I know its what you are used to but 54Deg here in NC this am, and I turned on the heat..lol ..to knock the chill off.. Hubby will prob not be happy when he awakens as he does not get as cold as old me... Hope you have a mild and not so harsh Winter your way...enjoy the Fall Season as again, looks like you are ready. :0)
