Fall

I’m up early and in one of those writing moods and I just had a little thought this morning. I was browsing through tweets this morning when I came across one from an old colleague who now lives in Cali, and formerly lived in Michigan:
It may sound crazy but I really miss the fall weather of Michigan. via
I was not born and raised in Michigan. Being an out of towner (more or less), there are a ton of things to hate about Michigan. For the sake of staying positive, I won’t name them. But also, after being here for many years, there are many things to love about Michigan too, and one of those things is the fall.
I’ve thought this since day one of being here, and I can’t imagine many other places having a better looking fall. The weather is great for sleeping (with no a/c) and well as great for being outside during the day. Shorts/t-shirt, or blazer and jeans….. the weather seems to adjust to what you feel like wearing. Seeing the colors of the trees is the best part. There are some great pictures doing a Flickr search for “Michigan Fall“…
One of the keys that I’ve found to living in Michigan (if you’ve come from another state) is finding the positives. It seems obvious, but it’s really not if you constantly watch local news here or read about the local economy. I can honestly say that I don’t hate it here like I used to. I actually……. kinda like it.
