What gorgeous photos! That recipe sounds delicious and different. Another one to copy off. :)
Joey, you always have the most beautiful photos! I see autumn has painted Michigan.
I don't enjoy cooking, and baking is only slightly more enjoyable, but this blueberry stuff sounds yummy! I might have to try it. ;-)
Nancy, grab your camera and come for a visit ... I'll cook and drive :)
How can blueberries be bad, Kylee? Thanks dear bloggin' friend.
I'm coming too! I'll bring some Scuppernong Muscadine wine! Joey--this is one of my favorites that you've done so far. Ok, I say they are all favorites. But I really like the red outbuildings, the rolling landscape and especially--the photos you captured of the grape vines with the netting.
Dearest Anna ... I KNEW you'd hop aboard. With your love of adventure, you can be tour guide (I'll whisper in your ear the details as I drive ;)
I'll drink to that Mr. Jefferson !
What a gorgeous farm, Joey. You've piqued my interest in visiting Michigan's wine country.
Got to try that Blueberry Brunch. It sounds so yummy.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful Michigan with us.
Hi Carolyn. Blackstar Farms is indeed lovely. We've visited several times and morning is awesome ... first sunrise then waking to sounds of a working farm ~ crowing roosters, neighing horses, etc. And breakfast is the best!
Gorgeous grape collage! Nothings says fall like grapes, apples and pumpkins.
What a beautiful farm Joey!
I love blueberries, and that recipe sounds awesome.
Some of the tree-covered hills on Leelanau remind me of scenes around my mom's place in southwest Michigan. The fall colors are awsome.
Joey, this place is gorgeous, and your photos are wonderful! Thanks for sharing the beauty, and oh, that delectable blueberry brunch sounds sublime!!
Thanks for visiting too. You have a way with words :)
Thanks Connie. Fall fell upon us for sure ... we are surrounded by harvest gifts.
Welcome Garden Girl ~ as you know Michigan, surrounded by our stunning Great Lakes with thousands of inland lakes and mighty forests, is a visitor's paradise (can you tell I love this state ;)
Thanks dear Kerri ... you are most kind. Visiting you is also a treat.
