The Farmers Market Season comes to an end just as Old Woodward construction is finished

This last Sunday was the last day of the Birmingham Farmers Market. The market runs from July 1 thru October 21 first this year. For much of the season it was a challange to get into the market with all the road construction on Old Woodward between Willits and Oak Street. But at last it appears to be almost finished. It will now be easier to find a spot to park for all the shops and next years Farmers Market. Don’t miss next years market which is open every Sunday from 9 AM until 2 PM.

Close to Birmingham and Bloomfield, Fun outing for the weekend

Here it is the second week of October and the weather has been BEAUTIFUL. We are spoiled. As we approach the weekend the Birmingham Bloomfield areas are going to start getting closer to “normal” Fall temperatures. Lack of excessive moisture in the ground is hindering normal “spectacular” Fall colors but they are still pretty. We are thinking that this would be a good time to visit one of several Cider Mills so very close to Birmingham and Bloomfield Hills.

A few Cider Mills that readily come to mind are the Franklin Cider Mill 7450 Franklin Road, Franklin MI (about 6 Miles from the Birmingham Bloomfield area); Yates Cider Mill 1990 E. Avon Road, Rochester (about 10 Miles from the Birmingham Bloomfield area); Paint Creek Cider Mill, 4480 Orion Road, Rochester ; and Parmenters Cider Mill, 714 Baseline Road, Northville. We will probably take a nice Sunday drive to the Cider Mill this weekend with our granddaughter, Kelley, and our two dachshunds, Penny Candy and Ziggy. We cherish these family times together and being able to enjoy the outdoors. We’re looking forward to the hot donuts, apple cider and fresh apples. Click here to see other Michigan Cider Mills. 

 Living in Michigan with its four seasons is wonderful.  If you or someone you know is thinking of making a move, please give us a call or visit our website for information on area listings in the greater Oakland County area.

Fleming's Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar in Birmingham - a Great Dining Experience

After a movie at the Birmingham Palladium on a Sunday afternoon we decided to walk over to one of the new restaurants in Downtown Birmingham.  Our dining experience was exceptional at Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar.  The appetizers were delicious – we tried the Lobster Tempura and seared Ahi Tuna.  Having not realized how plentiful the portions were, after the appetizers we decided to share a steak with a side of grilled asparagus.  Even with sharing we ended up with a “doggie” bag and our little dachshunds were very happy to see what we brought home that evening.  Take a look at the inside of Fleming’s by clicking here (it may take a couple of seconds to load). Since everything in Birmingham is just a short walk away it was not a problem to enjoy the rest of the evening walking around window shopping and relaxing. 

The City of Birmingham is a wonderful place to walk around with a friendly downtown area offering a myriad of unique shops, restaurants, theatres and cultural events.  A children and dog friendly city, Birmingham boasts several lovely parks and outdoor café seating for three season enjoyment.

Some people can't help but generalize and make fools of themselves!

Like the song by Shania Twain says:

If you’re not In it for love
If you’re not willin’ to give it all you got
If you’re not in it for life If you’re not in it for love
I’m outta here
