Our first fall in Michigan, and Rawley redecorates

Fall This is the tree right outside my front door. The first turning leaves of fall!

I'm quite sure the whole Michigan category of this blog is going to be nothing but me acting like a kid at every seasonal change. From now on, I'll try to get the dogs in my photos, at least, LOL.

Off to the Ann Arbor Farmer's Market to pick up some meat for the dogs from a small rancher who has a stall there, and then have lunch with a friend/colleague I've never actually met who just moved here. Then home to let Kyrie out -- she really can't use the dog door, even though we put a ramp to it and it's taller than she is. I'd like to think it's Kyrie's autumn, too, but I'm pretty sure we're well and truly in winter now.

Also? Rawley just tried to drag one of my rugs out the dog door. To join the six towels he took out while I was in the shower. Oh, puppy. Never grow up.

I think the "kid" behavior when the snow is 2' high and you need to drive to the dentist is going to be more on the order of a toddler's WalMart meltdown.

I think we should start a "Christie Keith OMFG this is Winter" pool.

I pick December 19th as OMFGIW day.

Dec 19? No way. I LOVE snow and winter until a couple of weeks after Christmas. My acid test will be after mid-January.

I've lived in Michigan for 9 years and I still get giddy about fall and winter. The more snow the better! I enjoy winter until the first week of April, then I'm done with it and want spring. Oh, enjoy your first mud season ;)

If you really want to enjoy the fall color, take a drive up to Cadillac when it reaches peak. I think there are driving routes and peak updates on the Pure Michigan web site.

Welcome to Michigan! Are you here for a while? (sorry if I missed all that) I live in Lansing and it's not such a terrible place to be, except maybe in February which seems to have 128 days sometimes. Give a holler if you get up this way and I'd love to meet you in person for coffee or lunch or conversation.
