ichigan's autumn is a
jewel of a season. Espe-
cially for Jewish
families, autumn offers
a sensory treat that
corresponds to the sym-
bols and foods of our fall holidays:
apples and honey for Rosh
Hashanah, pumpkins . and fall har-
vest foods for Succot.
Autumn is a season for all ages,
a last chance to frolic outdoors,
enjoying the warmth of Indian
Summer while we sip tangy apple
cider, bite into crisp, hand-picked
apples and take long, leisurely walks .
through paths strewn with quilted-
leaf carpets.
Indulge your senses. Pack a pic-
nic lunch, bundle the entire family
into your car and head several miles
in any direction. Be sure to take
your camera. Southeastern Michi-
gan's peak color show is usually
mid-October.
Apple picking is much easier on
the back than berry picking and
helps children understand nature.
There are many U-Pick apple or-
chards in the countryside around
Metro Detroit. To help you find one
closest to you, call the Michigan
Travel Commission, 1-800-543-2937.
Ask them to send you the pamphlet,
Michigan Country Carousel, A Guide
to Pick-Your-Own Farms and Road-
side Markets.
