Oh (I'm swooning), I think you live in the most total heaven of all.

You're so blessed. Must smell gorgeous around there most of the time.

My Tlingit cousin is a hunting and fishing guide in AK in the

summertime. The rest of the time, he's here with his wife (my Upper

Skagit cousin, Tsisqal) in Washington state.

Hillsdale, MI -- a very pretty little college town in south central

Michigan (tristate area). I live near the arboretum, which is very

beautiful and well-kept, with a surprisingly large variety of

essential oil-producing trees. It's fun to get in touch with the

actual living items you're involved with at your workbench.

I'll second that! We lived there for years, it was a great, funky,

artsy and interesting place to be. I miss the spring waters, they were

so delicious, sweet and smooth, not sharp like Perrier. I especially

miss the one that was behind our house, it was high in natural

lithium, a great mood-adjuster for " that time of the month " ! I love

where we are now, but I do miss that weird little mountain town.

Yes, I sure do.  I've got to have a taste of the tropics.

sumac is already turning (it always goes first) it's fiery crimson.

Interestingly enough, the dominant colors in this area are orange and

yellow. I've noticed the further north you go in Mich, the redder and

brighter the trees get. I heard somewhere that it might have to do

with average temperatures in a given area.
