Home again!
Well we left Michigan a few minutes before seven last night and arrived home just after four this morning. I drove the whole way until the last hour, just north of Nashville. The drive was uneventful and we saw a lovely sunset in Northern Indiana. We have spent most of the day just trying to recover. I have unpacked most of my stuff and am getting ready for the week ahead. Luke has been in a great mood all day and napped very well. Hopefully the hour time difference won’t be too big a deal tonight at bed time. Below is a notification from Google about what I was doing three years ago.
Last day in Michigan.
We are getting packed up and will hit the road shortly. It will be another drive through the night, which will be tiring, but hopefully trouble free. It has been a good trip – lots of quality family time, pretty scenery, and mild weather. Not to mention good food. I think we will return in October, when the weather is even nicer and the leaves will hopefully be changing. Of course the real highlight then is the pumpkin and apple harvests.
Sunrise wasn’t too impressive this morning, but I needed to get up anyways to collect my cameras. Last night the stars were amazing, but there was so much dew out that the cameras didn’t do very well. That’s okay, I’ll be back next year. We went in to town this morning because Liz wanted a picture with Luke in front of a Gerber sign. There was a really cool mural on one side of the plant but access was limited, so we settled for another spot. The rest of the day was just spent hanging out with family.
Stunning morning.
I went outside early this morning and was rewarded with quite possibly the most beautiful scene I have witnessed here on Liz’s family farm. There was a little fog, then the sun rose gently and bathed everything in soft light. I had set up the cameras last night to photograph the stars and lightning, but wasn’t too pleased with how the pictures turned out. I’ll try again tonight. My father-in-law and I worked outside for most of the day, beginning to build a bridge on the back of the property. We hauled logs and old telephone poles to the site, and began cutting trees out of the way before the chainsaw started having issues. This evening Liz’s Uncle Gary came over for dinner, which was lovely.
