It is April, 32 Degrees is Not Okay

Friday, April 28, 2017

For anyone reading our blog you will notice as the summer goes on I will not post as often but I am going to do my best to keep it up to date at least twice a week. I would like to keep a record of this summer and getting the "For Sale" sign out in front.

So this is our fourth day home. You will notice a complete lack of pictures because I have not taken any. We have been enjoying time with our grandchildren and daughter I just keep forgetting to take pictures. Wednesday my feet got a treat when our daughter gave me a pedicure...she had mentioned it looked like they could use one. She worked at the Kohler Water Spa in Kohler, WI, a 5 star spa, for 5 years so she does an excellent job even without the fancy equipment. I now have happy toes.

It started raining Tuesday evening and it stopped last night about 7 or so and I bet you are thinking that is good news. No...no not really because it stopped raining and turned to snow. Not snow that stayed on the ground mind you, though farther north it did do some accumulating, but snow just the same...and yesterday's temperature was a lovely 36 degrees. So the only time I was outside was to travel between the Stinger B, in our driveway, and the back door to bring in a few things. As I write this it is, I am in denial so I checked it twice, 32 degrees. Okay that is just to, to cold we will have to go out and apologize to the Stinger B for bringing it to the "frozen" north this early.  They, whoever they are, are predicting a "balmy" high of 41 degrees today but no sun. I do see a sun, a partial sun, on next Thursday's weather, we can only hope. Of course, I also see rain coming out of clouds Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. I know the sun is still out there the rest of you keep talking about it. We are thinking May, yes May, would be a better month to come home. The last two years we did come back in May and the weather was much kinder. We do not even have dandelions yet...:( Okay, I have gotten that out of my system, enough ranting about the weather.

On a good note we are getting things done and with any luck the upstairs will be pretty much cleared by Monday. Plus, the things that need to come in from the Stinger B are slowly making their way in. So maybe the cold rainy weather is a blessing in disguise, I am trying to be positive about 32 degrees, because it is somewhat keeping us on track. Of course, not to having to worry about this house anymore is also a great incentive. Not coming home to yard work and repairs will be nice. Besides clearing out the inside, the yard needs to be racked, our washer quit, and we have a leaky pipe which are know added to Tom's lengthening to do list. So we will keep "plowing" ahead one day at at time.

 Hope you are enjoying your day.
If you have time to leave us a note we would enjoy hearing from you.

  1. Now i really understand why you didn't feel sorry for our lows.
    Hoping the sunshine we are supposed to get in the next few weeks makes its way to the UP.
    It seems those To-Do lists never seem to get shorter.
    Be Safe and Enjoy!

    It's about time.

    1. We are hoping the sunshine reaches here also. We are heading down by Detroit next week to see our son and his family so we are also hoping the weather down your way stays nice, also.
      No, the to do list only seems to grow...:)

  2. We had the 80 f yesterday, 62 f Today, 55F tomorrow and 45f on Sunday on a downhill slide. But heck it can always get worse.
    Enjoy your family time and good luck with the house sale.

    1. Yes, it could get worse but we are hoping for better. We did have blue skies for a bit today.
      Thank you wishing us good luck with the house sale.

  3. I agree, your 32F is just not acceptable! At least you have the option to stay in the warmth longer than us Canadians. If we didn't have to count our days, we would have stayed another month in the south for sure. At least we are getting some nice days in between the cooler ones. I wish some sun for you soon!

    1. You are so right we are lucky and do not have to count the days like you do. Next year we will probably stay south a couple more weeks, at least. I know the last two years those couple of weeks really did make a difference in the weather. This year we did choose to come home when we did to get things done...so I will try to stop complaining...lol and I am smiling...besides today the sun did show itself for a bit. I love it when the weather predictors get it wrong in our favor.
