October

It is October and fall is in the air on Mackinac Island.

The leaves are changing color,


we've been getting a little much needed rain,


and the woods have that deliciously earthy wet-leafy smell.
I just can't get enough of it.

Fall on Mackinac - even though it means riding my bike home in the pouring rain - it's my favorite time of year...

Are you guys at peak yet? Leaves are really changing here, and we had our first frost. My in-laws are up in Marquette right now...I keep waiting for them to call me and say it's snowing, lol.

We were up on the island in October a few years ago. During the rain one day we splurged on a private tour of the island (despite the fact that it was probably our 10th time up there). It was great! Lots of insight into island living. We also bought books at the bookstore under the Lilac Tree Hotel and cuddled up in bed reading. It was a great trip despite the weather.

i love this time of year...the trees inspire me to dye up all kinds of colors. taught another class up in marquette...great! i now have almost 45 minutes of surf video from lake superior. i actually want to find someone who can loop all the audio into a 60-90 minute cd for me. when i am jonsing for the ocean so bag i am in tears i can put on headphones and listen to the waves crashing on the beach...it sounds the same! also found awesome lake polished rocks the surf is dredging up from the bottom of the lake. second helping yesterday...put in a bucket.i swear, some of those pieces look like petrified wood! take care, glad the boy is on the mend. cute sling too!

It's my favorite time of year too. I was thinking how much I love the smell... earth and wood smoke.
