Ah geez, Madame C...now you make me want to come back. I certainly enjoyed my time in Battle Creek, Marshall, Kalamazoo...and you've nailed it on the head as to the seasons and their sounds and feel....it's a great state...perhaps someday, I'll come see YOU.... |

Karilea...I had forgotten that you lived here. It would be nice if you still did...nice for me anyway... but don't those pics tempt you to at least come back for a visit? Michigan is a very beautiful state. ~ hugs from The Great Lake StateLyra |

Thanks so much, Helen... I'm glad you enjoyed the tour. How long have you been in the sunny south? I personally, like the north better....and I really love Michigan. It isn't my home state but I've been here since 74, so I guess its become my adopted home state.  ~ Michigan hugsLyra |

It's gorgeous country, Lyra, and it's easy to see you love it. Wonderful way with words, too. They flowed so well. I love the way you combined the pictures and words together. Nan |

Allow me to say this in all candor.. I'll NEVER be a Michigander! I've sworn that I will never go To any state producing snow. But I admire that wondrous state 'Cause it's got you...that makes it GREAT!!!  |

This is just splendid Lyra! I can see Michigan if I walk one block north. *Yes...I am to the south of you, even though I am in Canada* I lived for 10 years in Port Huron and have two American born children. Love it there! Beautiful state! ~Hugs~ |

Thanks so much, Michael... There are lots of chipmunks here in Michigan. I don't think there are too many of us, living in Fla...  ~ hugs and thanksLyra |

Thanks Nancy, It always surprises me to know that Canada is south of us. I have a brother-in-law who lives in NY, who calls Kalamazoo the frozen tundra. Every time he comes to visit, its always cold here....even in the summer. He didn't believe me, that it was in the upper 90's the other day.  ~ hugs from the other sideLyra |

Wow! What a beautiful home you have Lyra. Your poem was like a brochure from the Chamber of Commerce and I absolutely loved the tour. Thank you for posting it.

Thanks so much, Sharon. I'm glad you enjoyed the little tour of my adopted home state. It is very beautiful here. The top photo in that poem, was taken when we went on vacation to Mackinac Island....a lovely little Island which is located between Canada and the U.S.A. No cars are allowed there, only horses and buggies and bikes. Arch Rock, which is in the photo is a natural rock formation.  ~ Hugs from Michigan in the U.S.A.Lyra |

This was of course a favorite of mine, but I love the fact that she thought Michigan could actually look GOOD! She had a wonderful poet's pen, and an even better sense of humor that gal! |
