Apple Cider Donuts Mean It's Almost Fall

On the edge of suburban neighborhoods in metro Detroit, I arrived Saturday at the Franklin Cider Mill in Oakland County, Mich. The apple cider donuts were wonderful. And I bought a quart of fresh, unpasteurized cider to go with them. Marvelous.

The Franklin Cider Mill began operating in 1832, which makes it older than the State of Michigan.

Friday is "pie day" there, according to signs at the mill. I was one day late. (Sigh)
