Fall in MI was always a double-edged sword for me. Everything was beautiful, but everything was dying. The marina, that had been so full of boats and activity, empties out to a depressing stillness. After Labor Day the city would start installing snow fencing all along our 2-mile stretch of beach The chilly wind picked back up. The beaches themselves were pretty much empty. The hints of winter to come were even more depressing.

We are back in MI now for a couple of days before leaving on a vacation. it's everything I remember.

I'll take the heat of FL any day over the chilling-off of up north.
