Just got back from a trip to Harbor Springs, Petosky, Charlevoix and had beautiful weather the whole week. 60's,70,s even into the 80's. We got a real surprise when it came to to color! Boyne Highlands in Harbor Springs was beautiful; lots of reds and oranges. We took the drive up the coast (Tunnel of Trees) to Cross Village and saw no color at all. The trees were green, lloked very dry and leaves turn up the way they do when the are in drought. Go back into the middle of the state; Gaylord, Grayling and they have wonderful color there. The natives were saying that the warm weather keeps the water so warm that the trees don't get the cool weather they need to turn.
Lots of apples, sunflowers ready to harvest and cloudless days!
THIS is why I LOVE MICHIGAN!!
