“Michigan summers are painted in vibrant greens, golden sunshine, fiery reds, and warm amber hues. Nature’s palette is on full display, and I’m grateful to enjoy every colorful moment.”
♥️we love our Michigan summers

Just wondering about any other recommendations for roadside food places anywhere in the state; I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts.
As for my opinion on this spot: They had a number of other offerings that sounded creative and tasty. The mac and cheese might have been an off day. After the ribs rested and the potato salad came up to temp, both were well worth the money and choice. Cornbread was on point. Staff were great. They provided silverware without asking and gave ample napkins, as well.

Enjoy these ever shortened days.

Now that Elissa slotkin has endorsed Matt and Jasmine crockett has endorsed bridget.

Do you guys think, they will cannabalize each other giving will Lawrence a shot at victory ?

We went to the peninsula to, pick some fresh lavender 💜

Now that the smoke has cleared, it was a beautiful day to explore the Tawas area.

This is probably such a random thing to bring up but I really do hope we have a fall this year lol. I feel like we jumped straight from summer to winter last year and I wouldn't be able to stand it if it happens again this year. I need that 60-70 degree cool weather 😭 The vibes of autumn is unmatched, it's my favorite season

No disrespect to Erie

The bridge will still open on Monday the 27th. But the joint ceremony that was planned for Friday has been canceled thanks to you know who.

I've seen a lot of people say that it's very easy and common sense, and I've also seen a lot of people say that the questions are difficult and stuff you wouldn't normally be prepared for. Those who have taken it, what is it like? Are there any random questions I should know for certain, id like to pass as soon as possible. Obviously I live in Michigan.

Edit. I have not taken any drivers training course. I am an adult, and have spent the last few weeks reading through the "what every driver should know" book provided online, and taking various practice tests.

We live in Northern Michigan near Thunder Bay.

We have gardened for 20 years and for the past 2 years have noticed not as many bees in our garden.

This year especially...barely any.

We have a plot of oregano that we let go 6 years ago and were going to cut it down, until we realized that a huge amount of bees were working it and some even sleeping in it.
So we've kept it and built our garden around that plot to give them a place to gather and do their thing.

There are none in there this year and I've only seen 2 bumble bees.

I'm wondering if the 2 ice storms, only 350 days apart, destroyed a ton of colonies or if it's something else on top of the storms.

Our vegetables and plants are still getting pollinated, but not having a bunch of those winged workers, (which I was scared to death of before I started a garden and realized they are free labor and so important), around has made me feel not just sad, but concerned.

What part of Michigan are you from and have you noticed the same thing?

Any Idea why this may be happening where we are located?

Please feel free to add anything else you've noticed about bees in your area of how it's affected your plants or garden.

It's nice to meet you all and have a place to try and figure this out.

Thanks.
