Laura and I took Lake Michigan Drive to the lake shore today. Our final destination was the Rosy Mound Natural Area but we made an unplanned stop at Green Acres farm Market to pick up some cider and pumpkins.
We are big fans of Rosy Mound because it's easy to get to and usually not crowded due to the 1 mile hike required to reach the beach. After some gentle autumn exercise through the wooded dunes, Lake Michigan never disappoints.
This has been one of the most pleasant Octobers in memory. Today temps were in the upper 60's on the beach. I would not have wanted it to be warmer.
With nobody else in sight, we found a nice spot to watch the lake and the biggest seagull we've ever seen - which got away without a photo-op.
This log provided some entertaining training for the approaching ski season
Probably the last dip of the year, and it was a chilly one
Green Acres and Rosy Mound are both top notch destinations. We purchase Michigan blueberries and cherries at Green Acres each summer. Alas, I have not been to Rosy Mound in many years.
