Mother Nature has opened her box of crayons in Michigan ~

"And all at once summer collapsed into fall"

Mother Nature has opened her box of crayons and used the most amazing colors!
I absolutely adore fall colors every year!

It makes me get outside more and snap a few photos. I love being outside, but I tend to
hibernate when it gets colder. Just like a bear...

I bought one mum this year and I love the color of it. I tend to go for pinks and purples.
However, I do throw in a orange or yellow every few years. 

If a year was tucked inside of a clock,then Autumn would be the magic hour".

These trees are all in our front yard and require a lot of cleanup, but aren't they pretty?


My Rosemary plant is still looking great! I can never get enough Rosemary.
I love the intoxicating smell.

"The heart of Autumn must have broken here, and poured it's
treasure upon the leaves".

I did say that I LOVE fall colors, but I will put a disclaimer right here. I don't like the clean up near
as much. I'm getting too old for all this work. lol  Truthfully, if we don't get an Indian Summer, it will
probably stay like this until next Spring. 





"I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers"
Do you have fall color where you live? I would love to hear about it.
We complain a lot because of the highest car insurance rates in the nation ,but when
you look at all this color, it almost makes up for it, right? :)

Happy Tuesday and may you be blessed!

Beautiful carriage ride through Marshall, Michigan

We visited the beautiful city of Marshall, Michigan yesterday
and loved every minute of it.

"Marshall is best known for its cross-section of 19th- and early
20th-Century architecture. It has been referred to by
the keeper of the National Register of Historic Places as a
"virtual textbook of 19th-Century American architecture."
It is home to the one of the nation's largest
National Historic Landmark Districts.
There are over 850 buildings included in the Landmark."
{source Wikipedia}

We thought about cruising around town on these
beautiful bicycles.
Gorgeous replicas of old time bicycles.
...but we opted to travel this way instead.
I am sure it was a wise decision considering us old codgers. lol. Loved the ride and wished it was longer.
The carriage ride took us on a tour through the historical district and it has the most beautiful homes. The house above was one of my very favorites. I could move right in today! :)

We saw amazing Victorian trim on a lot of the homes. {I had to edit some pictures as they were crooked and this one didn't turn out too great...the house on the left really wasn't crooked like the picture shows. }

They paid much attention to detail back in the old days.

This home was just gorgeous!

I fell in love with the front of his house immediately.

Loved this window!

There was even a PINK house.

Several of the homes we went by were up for sale.
Sad sign of the times.

LOVED this one too!

Most if not all of the homes had beautiful
landscaping.

I hope you enjoyed seeing these beautiful old homes.
I will be back this week to show you some of the
amazing stores we went in.
One antique store was called
*Amazing Grace Antiques*...and it was
definitely amazing!!

Blessings~
