  I Love Fall!

  I really do.  Pumpkins, cornucopias, the smell of freshly fallen or even burning leaves.  Dressing up and being goofy on Halloween.  Fresh pressed apple cider and donuts.  Plus, we happen to live in one of the most beautiful states during the early weeks of fall.  The leaves in Michigan are magnificent!  They were a little…
