October

In a few days my brother, sister-in-law and my mom are visiting us for the first time in Michigan.  This is pretty exciting.  Adam and I haven't really explored that much of Michigan even though we have been here for four years.

Can't wait to do some exploring with the family and show them some midwestern stuff.

fall foliage

some mount pleasant foliage for you. i actually took these pictures last week and noticed on my walk home that it doesn't look this pretty anymore. it happens so fast!

getting nervous about the cold weather...

fall is here...

the temperature in mount pleasant has been dropping like ten degree's per week (severe frost warnings)! i might be exaggerating a little but it is getting pretty cold and i remember it being warmer same time last year. i keep telling adam that it's going to be a brutal winter but he doesn't believe me. wait till it happens. at last week's dinner party, we discussed michigan weather with fellow guests. i told them "michigan winters i can handle," with confidence. they replied that last winter was very mild and i'm in for it. i guess i will be retiring my boat shoes for the cold weather soon.my boat shoes are studded and aptly named "rockstar"

pretty leaves in the backyard. i promise to rake this year.

fall

these are the leaves in front of our house..

i kind of look like the predator here..

we've been eating a lot of donuts...

more of mt. pleasant for you..

i need to send this photo to madoka. she gifted me with this scarf..

this place is right near the house. it is a classy joint where michiganites can buy their beer on the run..

the trees are turning colors.. so pretty! it is also getting pretty cold out here.. i am wearing a jacket indoors..
