Autumn in Michigan

I didn't upload these pictures in any particular order! The turkeys are in our backyard at Gilead Lake almost daily. In the winter, they roost in the crabapple tree to eat the fruit.
We had a good trip Up North. We stayed in Traverse City and visited 3 of our favorite restaurants that we had found on previous trips. My rocking beach, Christmas Cove, was totally changed by Mother Nature. Lake Michigan is up two feet, and when the ice went out this year, it pushed an amazing amount of golden sand up to the shoreline, burying all of the rocks! Ron and I are in Sleeping Bear Dunes Park in one of these pictures.
The white barn and beautiful maple trees are about two miles from our home; I took that picture yesterday; the colors are peaking here. Gorgeous!
Ron still enjoys traveling, sightseeing, and shopping! He had to use the walker to get around on our trip; he is too shaky when just using his cane. We don't return to Ann Arbor until the first week of November, and we still hope that we can travel to Virginia for Thanksgiving.
Love to all,
Ron & Jan
