Autumn has finally arrived in Michigan, which means long country drives with the smell of burning leaves in the crisp air and seasonal favorites like Love and Rockets on the stereo, breaking out the extra snuggy blankets and lingering in bed a bit longer on cold mornings, everyone dressing much better, and of course: cold cider and hot donuts! I might actually try to go to a cider mill every weekend from now until Thanksgiving. The Detroit Free Press has very good guide to area cider mills and apple orchards.
