Started out Saturday, beautiful, warm & sunny. First stop was the apple orchard in Montrose. We enjoyed some doughnuts and cider. A hot coffee for me. We then meandered down the road. There was an old country cemetery so we stopped to look around and I took some pictures. We then took the back roads all the way to Freeland. It was so interesting to see all the houses that were decorated for halloween. Some outlandishly so. I realized too late that we should have stopped and taken pictures of them.
Went to another apple orchard, where we bought a pumpkin. Went to the "Bird House" and looked around. Turned around and headed for Chesaning, again taking back roads. Took some more pictures near a river. Had an interesting lunch in St. Charles. Tony's famous steak sandwich's. More about that on another edition. Landed in Chesaning about 2:00 and went down to the river to take more pictures. Arrived at the Stone House B & B about 3:30. It was very relaxing and beautiful. Sat in the parlour and read a book about the history of Chesaning. I read a diary of a woman who traveled from MA. to Mich in the 1800's. Unbelievable. I don't know how those women did it. Apparently the area was inhabited by Native Americans. It was a riveting read. Later we went to dinner at Gracie's in New Lathrop. It was kind of disappointing. A high priced buffet. Drove back on the country roads. Several farmers were out in the dark bringing in their crops.
