>the flu has hit east lansing! Poor Bee is down for the count, along with half of her school. Not sure if its the type-a a or h1n1 but she has the fever, congestion, headache, malaise, etc. We actually tried on Monday to get flu shots at the clinic but they had run out, and said “try again next week.”

But the good news is that the extended forecast has been revised and we are looking at highs in the 60s this week! Yahoooooo!! And it is brilliantly sunny today and the foliage is more vibrant than it has been in the last few years. Last year seemed to go from yellow to brown. This year we have so much more fire red and bright orange. I will try to take a pic. I think i posted a while back that the warm and sunny september days and cold nights were good for foliage and the trees did not let us down.

Scott is going out to fix our garage door, which is stuck partway open. So we cant get car or bikes out, nor can we shut it all of the way. Go scott Go!
