Michigan Living Week 11: Fall (almost)





So definitely summer is over, or at least mostly over since the nighttime lows have been around 37 degrees and the daytime highs somewhere between 65-70. That's close enough to Fall temps for us ex-Californians to call it FALL! Not to mention the fact that the leaves have begun to change from green to a myriad of different colors (did you know they come in more varieties than just green?). So what do you do in Fall? That's right-- CORN MAZE! We attempted our first this week, and set a new record. The maze (in Williamston for you locals) says it takes about 1/2 to 1.5 hours to finish-- we did it in 2.5 hours! Ha! That'll show 'em... we certainly got our $25 worth!












Also Fall brings a new flavor of Starbucks gift card which Emily got super excited aboyut (spelled phonetically), even got the barista to load her other gift card onto this one (in case you can't tell, it says Starbucks in Braille, and Emily has been learning Braille for the last couple of years).





Fall also opened the opportunity to begin using our fireplace-- which is very cool, but a little odd since progress invented forced air heating so as to not burn your house down with open fire in the wall-- but it sure looks cool!



Fall also means eating and drinking-- pretty much caramel and apple everything! (Mug made by Emily at Rebekah's pottery birthday party... caramel apple cider made by Emily too!)










Last, but not least, Fall has brought out a new fashion sense for me (Chris)-- wool socks and cap. Honestly I wasn't even sure I owned socks, and have never been sure of what they were good for... who knew the answer was Fall?
