Why I Love Fall in Michigan

Why I Love Fall in Michigan – list of nine reasons why “The Enchanted Mitten” is the best place in the world to be in the Fall / Autumn.My brother and his family came in from Florida for a visit recently during a cool, rainy, weekends. Typical Michigan Fall weather. I was expecting them to complain about Michigan weather and gloat about the sunny days in Florida. But instead, my sister-in-law expressed what a relief it was to feel some cool fall Michigan weather. It got me thinking. I may complain when the Michigan winters drag, but I would take the change of seasons over the same weather year-round any day.

Now that we’re in the midst of Fall, I can honestly say I appreciate the change in seasons in Michigan now more than ever. Just to give you an idea, here are my top reasons why I love fall in Michigan.

Why I Love Fall in Michigan

  • Fall Foliage – Michigan offers the best views of fall foliage. Michigan Fall Foliage pics.
  • Cider Mills – Get the best of the best at a Michigan cider mill. I’m kind of obsessed with them. I’ve been to nearly every one in lower Michigan.
  • Cider Mill Donuts – Only time all year I indulge. I like them even better than Krispy Kreme donuts – and that’s saying something.
  • Football – I love taking my kids to high school football games on crisp Friday nights. My husband and I have been known to go up north for a Friday Night Lights experience that is even more quaint (Pellston, Indian River Inland Lakes, Harbor Springs High School). Throw in a Michigan or Michigan State tailgate and it doesn’t get any better – anywhere.
  • Fall colors and fashions – What can I say? My skin tone loves fall colors, and you’ve just got to love the fall looks.
  • Apple pies – Apple pies made with Michigan apples in the heart of the apple season… yum.
  • Bon fires – So comforting to stand next to a bon fire and feel the warmth, even on the coolest of Michigan nights.
  • Sweatpants – A cozy pair of thick cotton sweatpants feel so nice when it’s chilly, and even better when reading a book.
  • Halloween – I read that Michiganians spend more on Halloween than any other state. We have so many haunted houses and hayrides to enjoy out “in the boonies”.
