My sweetheart and I spent two days in beautiful Traverse City Michigan celebrating our 23rd wedding anniversary. This picture was taken on the 45th parallel located on the Leelanau Peninsula.

The colors in upper Michigan are almost in full bloom…..only a couple more weeks until we see those vibrant colors here at home:)

Monday evening ominous clouds hovered over the Traverse Bay, however, the storm never hit. We had dinner at Scotts…..I highly recommend this restaurant 🙂

Since we were celebrating our anniversary I thought it would be fun to see how many hearts we could find in nature….the first one was found on a tree stump.

Another one found in a heart-shaped rock among the sand, water and weeds.

The third one was a shadow that Kevin’s glass made while we were having dinner at Bubbas in Traverse City……loved this place too!

Kevin noticed the heart-shaped leaves on this Morning Glory……I need to plant one of these next spring. What a beautiful vine.

The two above pictures are of the vineyards on Old Mission Point. The Traverse City area is famous for growing cherries and grapes. There are many wineries up and down both the Leelanau and Old Mission Peninsulas. Sparkling waters, panoramic hilltop views, rolling landscapes and lush vineyards make a simple drive a breath taking experience. Oh, I cannot forget to mention the many galleries peppering the quaint villages featuring amazing works of art.

Hope you all had a great one! We were “up north” at the Harrisville Harmony Weekend Art and Craft Show. It was an outdoor show with 300 very talented artists and crafters. I usually do indoor shows so this was a new experience. Saturday we had thunderstorms and rain for about 4 hours but then it cleared up and ended up to be a beautiful day. Sunday the weather was perfect….75 degrees and breezy. Met many nice folks at the show, people from all over Michigan make this show an annual tradition. I did hear that the attendance was down due to the rain (there was a 50% chance of rain Sunday but it never happened) We came home Sunday after the show and worked all day Monday cleaning, doing yardwork, laundry etc. I would love to have had the day off but I must admit that I love it when the house is clean and the yard it manicured!!!! Below is a sweet lil’ punchneedle I finished while at the show….getting in the halloween mood!!
