Cooler Weather???

I noticed today I haven't added a blog since late August. I could argue that I was waiting for cooler weather ---! Who would believe that we would be complaining of high 80 degree temperatures and humidity in the middle of October--in the middle of Michigan.

The trees are starting to turn brilliantly beautiful. This one, along the west side of Hagadorn Road near Holt Road, is deeply into the fall color change.

Fall has brought some interesting new things to our household. Noel started pre-school. There was a lot of concern about him starting pre-school without being "potty-trained." Peer pressure must have been the key--he was wearing undies and using the toilet within four hours of starting pre-school. He loves his teacher, Miss Christy, and to the surprise of his mother, he's actually been behaving at school. (He saves his VERY best stuff for home.)
