Yesterday, I took some autumn pictures at our lake cottage, located about 45 minutes north of Detroit, and thought you might enjoy them, too.
While Michigan has it's problems right now, weather is not one of them. Four real seasons and all of them with something to offer. You might not like the winter cold [but skiers and snowmobilers do], but you don't have to suffer with sub-tropical heat and humidity or desert baking or water shortages.
Home prices are really affordable [too cheap really] and most education is top-notch.
So, for those of you who left for "greener pastures," you may want to rethink your decision.
