Egg chair reading weather!

UGHHHHHHHHHHH.
One downfall of solar panels
All this snow and ice just came crashing down off the solar panels and scared the shit out of the dogs who started barking like crazy. In their defense, it was really freaking loud.
Perfect snow day.
Happy snow day!
Katie has an official old school snow day since teachers didn’t send home Chromebooks at all the schools. Owen has a late-start eLearning day.
Today doesn’t look much different for me, though…I’ll be finishing book 8 soon!
And it’s a wee bit chilly—there is ice in our microwave!
She wanted to build a snowman!
And she did a great job!!
This is what happens on a warm November day.
Quick! There’s the sun!
These days you need to record the sun when you see it so you can remember what it looks like.
Michigan State game day!
Owen has mentioned more than once he’d like to attend MSU and today he said he really liked it (but to be fair, it’s the first real campus he’s been on and he didn’t see much of it). I then asked if he wanted a pic on the campus of his future alma mater…and he obliged. Unbelievably it’s just 3.5 years away.
We got free tickets from Vettix and Grannie went with us!
We got some souvenirs—and Tom got a Sparty Party beer!
We had a cool view.
Right in front of the scoreboard!
This cute little one was in front of us!
Unfortunately they didn’t play too well and lost so that was a bummer. But we still had a good time!
And on the way back to the hotel, we took a mini detour and drove by the capitol.
I’m wearing a baseball cap!
I generally don’t wear baseball hats but when the sun is directly in your eyes, sunglasses don’t cut it. Thankfully Owen had a backup in his bag!
It feels like fall today so it’s gonna smell like fall, too!
Tom and I went to Marshall’s today and he actually smelled candles with me…and this was one we both liked!
It’s a little warm and humid already…
Fingers crossed it really doesn’t get to 100°-115° today…the windows and doors are fogging up!
Ivy is living her best life.
Half in the shade, half in the sun, in a comfy bed, with a nice breeze blowing…
She’s not even on pain meds any more!
A little warmer for baseball game #2!
The sun is out so it’s at least not dreary. I can’t wait for the short sleeves weather.
P.S. I don’t recommend arriving early with the coach when it’s this cold. After three hours I was frozen.
First day of spring baseball ’23!
It’s snowing and rainy and 42° so of course it must be the first day of baseball! And as I write this it has started hailing.
And then it got even colder.
Aaaaand it’s snowing. Because it’s been 80° the past few days.
Had a glorious dream about spring…
Woke up excited. Looked outside.
First non-snowday snowday!
So… eLearning. That’s what day the kids get now if we get bad weather. Bummer for them now…but one less day they have to go in June.
Katie (and Owen) had all their work done by 11:30!
We took the kids out for lunch because the weather wasn’t that bad…but it was starting to get slippery by the time lunch was over. And then I came back home to my book and my chair and my dogs.
Yes, they’re spoiled.
Tom shoveled this area for the dogs…but you can see that Ivy doesn’t really mind the snow.
Olive likes e-learning days.
It’s pretty is about all I can say about it.
It’sit’s only our second snow of the season so I can’t complain too loudly…
But I’m enjoying this…
Looks like spring. Sounds like spring. Smells like spring.
Too bad it’s only mid-November.
Holy crap. It’s 75° and gorgeous today.
The 10th of November. And this weekend is going to be in the 30s.
So I’m enjoying what will likely be my final egg chair day of the year!
It smells like fall!
Today is the first day it really smelled like fall!
A beautiful wedding day!
An outdoor wedding in Michigan on October 1? It was a daring move but it was the most amazingly gorgeous day to watch my cousin’s daughter (I googled and that makes her a first cousin once removed or I can call her a niece) Jessica marry…a marine!!
Baseball. Brrrr.
Enjoying book 43 outside with Olive before it gets too hot.
Book 37
I forgot about going outside to read because I’d had four days of Arizona’s blast furnace weather. But omggggggg today is perfection! And I’m on book #37: The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post
I highly recommend this one. I had no idea it was historical fiction. To know that this lady I’m reading about actually existed was really quite cool.
Wow, that was a doozy of a storm last night!
And Tom slept through it all thanks to two Tylenol PMs!
Katie was having a sleepover so her and her friend came bursting into our room at 1:45am just when the power went out (the first time). Katie was REALLY freaked out but her friend was so sweet trying to comfort her. Owen had been sleeping out in the gazebo but came inside at some point. (He later said he was getting rained on—but it was just rain coming in through the open vent of the gazebo.)
Both of our computer battery backups were beeping and I couldn’t turn them off (I could barely manage to reach one and unplugging it did nothing). So then I was wide awake…so read for an hour—and the power came back on about 3 and then it started storming again…and the power went out again and is still out. I’m exhausted.
Perfect egg chair reading day!
1:22pm — started a book!
3:17 — about halfway finished!
I ended up finishing it in bed that night! I remember the good ol’ days when I’d read a book a day. I love getting to do it again!
