Letter to the Editor
To the Editor,After spending close to two decades in Central Texas, I have returned to southeastern Michigan. This is the first “real” fall I’ve experienced in all that time.The dampness is a big change, especially after the drought-ridden years in the Southwest. The aroma of fallen leaves beginning to decay is so heady, one could become intoxicated. Encountering amazing fall colors, I wish I were an artist. It has amused me to hear people say the colors aren’t quite as bright as in recent years. To me they look splendid!My return to the state of my youth was brought about by an emotional need to be close to my family. Running a close second was a need to escape the oppressive Texas heat.There is a great deal of adjustment to be made. I miss the friends left behind in Texas, knowing there are some I will never see again.Barring unforeseen incident, I will be here for several years to come. The coming winter may challenge my resolve, but I’m “back home” and I’m going to stay.Jo Ann (Baugh) DalgardYpsilanti
