Don't know when you are headed up to Michigan wine country...but I loved a new winery I went to this summer. It's on the Leelanau Pennisula and it's called 45 North. Give it a try if you can.
Yes indeed, dear Marmee! It's a gorgeous day here a the lake ... very quite, just how I like it :)
Hi Lindalou ~ We are already up north, leaving from our cottage on Mon and, yes, impressed with 45 North, also 2 Lads Winery (featured on ABC Nightly News). Love wine ... love the scenery ... love the food ... this is a yearly trek!
:)

Happy Autumn, dear Karen, and thanks :)
A joy to see you, Carol, and thanks for your thoughtful words. Actually off to enjoy the joys of another piece of this beautiful state.
You are a dear, sweet Meems. So enjoy sharing our 'yin-yang' gardens. Off Mon leaving our lovely cottage for our annual tour of our awesome wine country :)
'as good as it gets' as I hope your weekend was. Birthday brunch for my sister (both needy with the recent passing of my other sister) and now watching 'the remains of the day', a Golden Hubbard Lake sunset. Off tomorrow to MI wine country with dear friends. Though camera is near, time 'simply watching' is just what I need :)
Safe travels, my friend! Enjoy wine country--like I even have to say that, right?!

You are a dear, Kim, so lucky to have you as a friend:) Perhaps one day soon, as life settles down, I'll get my photos and books out the door ;) In the meantime I'm happy to share. Today was Michigan perfect, traveling with dear friends and simply enjoying ... a needed gift :)
Hi Marnie ... so true! Traveling through upper Michigan during peak viewing, usually stunning, autumn is weak ... green and brown, wondering where is the red & gold! Perhaps the wet summer/early fall is part of the reason ... usually a rich harvest at this time of year, grapes are hanging on the vine, weeks behind for harvest. Regardless, the area is beautiful. Curious how autumn touches us when we return down state. Do you suppose we will be raking leaves in December?

I agree, it's a lovely thought, Donna, especially since, for many, fall seems like an elusive butterfly.
God Bless - Enjoy Autumn!

Thank you, Vickie :) Are you also waiting for the rain to stop?
trying to catch up :)
Hi Linda and thanks. The trip was indeed wonderful, just what I needed.
... and I thank you, Sue!
