Getting home tonight before dark I actually had a chance to slow down and notice a few things. First of all the trees lining the street from Ada to my Cascade home are changing the most wonderful shades of yellow, orange and red. With temperatures in the 70's asnd 80's it makes for some beautiful scenery...or as my husband would say welcome to the woods of Michigan. Just taking a little tour on Google Earth you can't help but be struck by how much unspoiled woodlands we still have. Surrounded by the Greatest of Great Lakes you can't help but wonder why everyone doesn't want to live here....okay I'll admit the snow that follows can be a bit of downer!!!! But for right now Michigan is bursting into bloom again. Autumn the season where every leaf is a promise, where our tree lined streets look like rainbows, and where a walk during the evening hours brings a sense of peace. Tomorrow is the harvest moon and I reflect upon my grandparents and greatgrandparents who farmed this area, and settled here from lands so far away. So for right now I'll take a little break from budgets, worry over employment status, and thank God for the Autumn-GOD'S last kiss before we are covered with a blanket of white.

Ah, for the love of fall in Michigan!! My mom says the canvas is actually a little heavy on the yellows this year...probably from the lack of rain. Either way, it can take your breath away! We have a definite "cool" in our morning air. Not the same, but we'll take what we can get.
Miss you guys.

P.S. We used the potty twice today!! Bought Curious George "big girl panties," at Target, yesterday. We're making progress. Smarties are a very good incentive!
Hello Tim & Kelly,
Hope all is well. I'm pleased to report "Fall" has arrived in AZ as well. We're surviving day time highs in the low 80's and somehow managing the upper 50's low 60's at night. All kidding aside, a much more subtle change in season here. Speaking of seasons, despite being thrown out of MI by the Governor (because of the Buckeye beatings), I see OSU remains undefeated and rightfully atop the Polls!!!! Michigan victim number one this weekend - "Moo U".
