Here is snow in Michigan--oh, how I miss thee!
And here is the only way I can tell the seasons are changing in Oklahoma. Sigh.

Changing seasons
When I lived in Michigan, it was always clear when the seasons were changing. When it was changing to spring, the snow melted. When it was changing to summer, I didn't have to wear a coat outside anymore. When it changed to fall, the colors. . .oh the colors, and the harvest of fresh veggies and fruits. Apple cider. Yummm. And when it changed to winter, snow. Most people here in the south hate and despise snow. I get that, simply because snow here is awful. But real snow, Michigan snow, ahh, it's a something to treasure and behold. My good friend called the other day and mentioned that it is snowing in Michigan right now and "it is beautiful." I am jealous. We don't get distinct season changes in Oklahoma. This week the temperatures will range from 30's to possible 70's. Which season is that?

Oh, it's so true. Starbucks and Football season :) the two Fall identifiers for us!
oh I know... I have lived in Texas or Oklahoma for the majority of my life and I have been jealous of "real" seasons that other places have.
When I found out that the pumpkin spice latte was back, I announced to the office that it was offically fall. ha ha
Haha! That is so funny... thanks Starbucks for keeping us informed!
Michigan snow is definitely pretty from inside your warm house...but I definitely don't like going out in it and the cold cold weather. The seasons are great though and I'm sure I would miss them lots if I lived somewhere else. Maybe it's time for you to come and visit so Andie and Ethan can have a play date...
