Will we ever see a significant snowfall this winter? The most snow we have had in southwest Michigan was a couple of inches back in October! My two-year-old is extremely anxious for some snow.
Enjoy this incredible picture and think snow.

I guess I am just a sucker for great barn pictures, especially those in the fall with the great Michigan color display.
Our son was quite excited about the splash of white that dusted the leaves in our yard. I would rather we continue the fall weather and put winter back on the shelf until it is a bit closer to Christmas.

I took this picture a couple of years ago on a fall color tour of northern Michigan. It was pretty sad to see everyone closing up their homes for the winter. The island was very quiet and empty (which was nice) yet sad at the same time because summer was over and even though fall was in full swing everyone seemed to be leaving.
If you have never been up north on Mackinac Island in the fall I highly recommend it. The colors are spectacular and when combined with the quiet ambiance of the horses clippity-clopping along empty streets it is a truly peaceful experience.

I looked up pictures of lightning on flickr.com in light of the storms that passed through here this week and slowed things down for a bit.

With the wall of fog surrounding the island it muffled the sounds of horse hooves upon the pavement and gave a surreal sense of peaceful isolation. The Mackinac Bridge and the upper and lower peninsulas of Michigan were not visible. With no vehicles and no way to see the outside modern world it felt like we had slipped back in time for those few days.
It is funny how one picture can bring back so many wonderful memories.
