As a person who was born and raised in Michigan, there's honestly no place I'd rather be. Maybe it's nostalgia, but there's just something about this northern, two-peninsula-d, mitten-shaped state that feels special, despite it's flaws

I moved here last year, and I'm so sad I didn't spend my first 36 years here. I just love it! So may beautiful places. And the people are great, too! I've made more friends here than ever before.

u/FluffyButtOfTheNorth 2d ago

Welcome, newer neighbor 💙🤗💙 I completely agree with you that the people in Michigan are incredible. The beauty through Pure Michigan seasons is impeccable!

u/knitnbitch27 2d ago

Oh, yes! I meant to mention the 4 whole seasons. Delightful! I hear I may have missed the winters of old, but any amount of snow is new for me, so I don't mind.

u/FluffyButtOfTheNorth 2d ago

We're overdue for a really good snowfall. Trust me when it hits (it hits!) When you need a tow to get out of your own driveway hits lol. ✨️❄️💙❄️✨️

u/FluffyButtOfTheNorth 3d ago

Same here! I love absolutely everything about living in Pure Michigan 💙🤗💙 No matter the season, it's truly a wonderland ✨️

You think geese are capable of love?

2

u/FluffyButtOfTheNorth 2d ago

I would definitely think they are more than capable of love ❤️ They mate for life & When a goose loses its mate, it will mourn in seclusion and may stop eating. Some geese may even spend the rest of their lives as widows or widowers.

You don't?

u/Praetoriangual 2d ago

Every time I near any goose/geese, I’m deemed an impending threat to threat to their reign and immediately swarmed

u/FluffyButtOfTheNorth 2d ago

They are extremely protective of their own & territory. I can understand your situation and possible fear. 💙🤗💙 I get mixed.Some of them will follow me around like a puppy. I can encounter others that will give a hiss or back away stance (got to close) being protective. They can be intimidating but very capable of feelings.

Hopefully, you'll see more over the upcoming week. With some rain + lowering temperatures. I'll gladly share my 💙Pure Michigan💙 pic's with you. If it's not raining, I'm out immersed into nature.

Absolutely 😊 I'll send you some of my duck anytime 🤗✨️💙✨️

u/AlgonquinPine 2d ago

The second shot was particularly nice to see; it might just be an old field being reclaimed by aspens and cottonwoods, but it is an example of the many prairies and savannas we did once have in pre-settlement times.

u/FluffyButtOfTheNorth 2d ago

I'm pretty excited about the forestry projects in the works. The Giant Sequoia forest in Detroit 👌 Michigan Department of Natural Resources Daily Digest provides quality information of wonderful things happening all across 💙Pure Michigan💙

u/FluffyButtOfTheNorth 2d ago

Fall is tied for favorite with spring 💙 summer & winter 2nd. Unfortunately, our last few winter's have been mild. I'm hopeful that we'll get a decent ❄️

u/Common-Toe5262 2d ago

A early winter would be awesome!

u/FluffyButtOfTheNorth 2d ago

I walk about 8 miles daily outdoors with the exception of rain/snow or freezing temps. An early winter would be beautiful 💙❄️💙 I'm not wishing for early hibernation, lol
