Time Sure Does Fly!

I can't believe how fast 3 weeks has flown by!!  We have been blessed with pretty decent weather.on this visit.  Today is only the second time since we have been here that it has rained all day.  I'd say the sun has had equal billing with the Michigan gloom so knowing what it could have been I have to give mother nature a thumbs up.  It is good I think, to experience the changing weather, makes us appreciate the constant sun in Florida more.  Of course spending so much quality time with family that we seldom see has been a real treat.

All the boats are gone from the marina in Bay Harbor

View of the rocky bottom in about 12 feet of water.  The cleanest water we've seen since the Florida Keys last January!

One of the reasons we choose to live in Florida...early morning frost in early November

Indian Mission Church on the bike walking path in Petoskey circa 1859 .  This path has really made our walks worth looking forward too.  The city of Petoskey has done a fabulous job on making the waterfront accessible to everyone.

Some of the many many geese that are out and about this time of year.  This was on a chilly morning and the geese were facing the rising sun warming their feathers!

Remember these coats from our November trip in Marco Island!   They are FAB!

Petoskey Harbor Light

Frost on the pumpkins....next is snow....maybe as soon as this week.

The Bear River that runs into the Petoskey Harbor and is a favorite spot for trout fisherman.

City Park near Petoskey City Marina

One of the farms near Belaire Michigan.  We took a road trip Sunday around Torch Lake which is North of Traverse City.  Lots of  cherry, apple and crop farms.  Maybe Michigan isn't back to thriving yet but it is on the road to recovery it appears.

Couldn't resist this great photo op.

All in all it continues to be a great month to be in Michigan, seeing family and visiting places we never had the time to do before.  We got to see the leaves changing and may even get to see snow before we leave.   To borrow a phrase from a famous company ...Life is good...

 We fly home a week from today and before you know it the holidays will be upon us, time sure does fly, doesn't it?
