The weather forecast for the coming days seems to be reasonably temperate with a mixture of clouds and sun, a perfect opportunity, we believe, to get out of the house and soak up some autumn splendor. Completely sunny days might be a bit more ideal, but we are still hoping everyone finds at least a little bit of time to look around at the fall leaves.

Scarlet. Persimmon. Lemon yellow. Orange … those are just a few of the colors found on trees throughout Superiorland and the Upper Peninsula for just a little bit longer.

Winter is looming, which makes it even more wonderful to gaze in wonder at nature at her vivid best.

And maybe before the wind and precipitation take too great a toll, there will be enough time to look — to really look — around and say a prayer of thanks for the chance to be here, in God’s country, when the explosion of color makes everything just a little more special, for what seems like a quick second.

The region is lovely all for seasons, but never more so than in the days of autumn.

Take some time to really appreciate it.
