It’s finally September, my favorite time of year in Michigan. The summer months are behind us, leaving instead just-right temperatures and a perfect show of changing seasons brought to you by Mother Nature. Here are some reasons why fall is the absolute best in the Mitten.
- Watching the colors of the leaves change before your eyes

- Visiting a cider mill

- We get to stock up on all the freshly-pressed apple cider we can handle
charmgirl13/Flickr Can you ever have too much cider? The answer is, no.
- And don’t forget the obligatory donut…
Deb Nystrom/Flickr We can’t think of a better fall combination than cider and donuts.
- While you’re at it, you can pick up your pumpkin at a pumpkin patch
Michael Patterson/Flickr It’s a lot of fun to go as a family to search for that perfect Jack-O-Lantern.
- Getting lost in a corn maze

- We get to visit a haunted house
ellenm1/Flickr There are more than enough haunted houses to see in Michigan, in fact, we hear there are more haunted houses in our state than anywhere else in the country.
- Nothing beats the smell of burning leaves
GollyGforce - Living My Worst Nightmare/Flickr Seriously, that has to be the official aroma of fall around here.
- September has to be the best month of the year in Michigan
yooperann/Flickr Not too hot, not too cold… Just right.
- It’s still warm enough to play on the water
