this is my backyard. lots of rain. lots of leaves.  lots of spring green, my favorite color in the world. 

looking out the window at it sustained me this week while i was down with the flu. the flu, was it the flu? i don't know as we didn't get tested. but i did catch this bug from my daughter who goes to a school that has had confirmed cases of the flu for 2 weeks now. about 10% of her school was out. but it was very mild in any case. sore throat, low grade fever, congestion, headache, occasional nausea, light cough. crushing fatigue was the worst part of it for us. major inertia. feeling much better today. everything is bright and beautiful again. back to it.
