I don't know if any others in this contest are from Michigan; but its a very pretty place to be in the fall. I love the smell of burnt leaves. It's great to be around when they are first raked into a huge pile and a match is thrown onto it. If there hasn't been any rain lately, the leaves will be very dry and is a beautiful thing to see when the large pile just bursts into flame.
