Fall is here!

Bad blogger (a.k.a. ME!) is back and excited for my favorite season - fall! We are headed up next week to the cabin for several days and the colors should be at their peak in Northern Michigan.




I also saw my first eastern Blue Bird! I was so excited - took several bad shots and the only one that was half-way decent was this one of him apparently snubbing me. Ah well, I probably deserved it!


How are the fall colors in your area? Have you been doing any fall baking?

  1. Fall in the mountains with leaves peaking in a log cabin. Does it get any better than that? Enjoy every minute!

  2. Your colors are pretty, Shelley! Our trees have changed a lot just in the last few days. Hope you have a great time at the cabin. :)

  4. Hey Shelley, welcome back. You've been missed. Fall is indeed beautiful and also my favorite season. Here in northern NH it's been unseasonably warm and I'm still getting tomatoes from my garden. We've only had 2 or 3 frosts and I've only needed to start the wood stove once.

  5. The fall has been long and beautiful here. I can't complain. Normally by now we have snow. I'm glad it is the same for you.

  6. Hi Shelley! Missed you...

    Love your bluebird pic. We have them here in NC too.

    Sounds like fall in your log home will be wonderful!

  7. I don't know what you're shooting with but your photography is absolutely vivid. Loved looking back. Our fall peak was over two weeks ago and we are in NorthCentral WI...the lakes keep your colors longer, lucky you. Have a great weekend at that gorgeous cabin.

  8. We went to the Smokeys today and saw some gorgeous autumn colors. They are just starting to show up around the house.
    I can't imagine why that bluebird would ignore you. I couldn't imagine doing that to you.

  10. Oh, I wish blue-birds were more common around here. We do get the dramatic and stunning Stellar Jays though, and they are fun to watch even though they are bullies.

    Fall in a cabin in the mountains with your gorgeous Bernese mountain dog.... you are so blessed Shelley !

  11. Hi Shelly, It was so good to hear from you. I hope all of your family and little critters are doing well. There is nothing quite like autumn in Michigan. It's so beautiful here! I hope you have a great weekend. Charli is sending woffs your way :>)

  12. Aside from the wonderful local apples, we are already baking up a storm. Baked acorn squash with apple; stuffed butternut squash; pumpkin bread to mention a few.

    Colors are great here and will peak in another week or so. That is, if this wind ever stops blowing the leaves off the trees.

  13. Our fall colours are several weeks late. Up the lake the maples are just starting to turn. Usually by now they are already gold and orange. I am getting a new propane fridge and oven next week. Then I'll try a bit of baking just for the fun of it. - Margy

  15. Yesterday we were hiking in the mountains and I actually thought about you and your cabin. It is the most beautiful season here for the colors. We are enjoying all the time outdoors. Great pictures!

  16. We don't get Fall colors that are nearly as vibrant as yours. It's been staying pretty warm here too. We're so ready for the weather to change!
    Have a great week!
    Blessings,
    Marcia
