First day of Fall...

I just returned from a quick 3 day trip to Mackinac. September really is the BEST time to be there in my opinion. It's still sunny but with a bit a crispness in the air, the leaves are changing colors, the streets are quieter, and everyone just seems to be in a wonderful mood. There's something magical about biking through the tall trees with the blue sky above and the sight of little leaves slowly making their way down to the ground and speckling the pavement with splotches of color... Yesterday I was on my bike with a scarf wrapped around my neck flying down a hill like a little girl... tears welling up in my eyes partly because of the cold breeze . . but mostly because of the pure joy I felt in that moment...

Love,
A
