Sunshine and snow be gone


Check it out. Lots of sun and next to no snow. It is 26, so still cold. It however, is sure nice to see some green. We had a huge amount of rain on Thursday night and just a very few flurries. Obviously, the sun and rain won out. This better be a sign of spring coming. Now we just need warmer temperatures.

Snow be gone, just temporary



It is 36 and the snow is melting. I even took these pictures wearing no coat. Although, there was a bit of a chill and the snow is coming back on Friday with a bang. Sorry to those southerners coming this way. I keep asking Ted for some help. He must be busy taking care of Grandma King or maybe the lawn up there.

We are officially over 100 inches

Finally, a very brief break, as there is still little flurries hanging around my house. A bit of sunshine also. I show my driveway because it was actually plowed by the brother in law at 4:00 this morning, yet we still can not see the driveway. The snow just won't give up. A definite work out opportunity as I will have to shovel the walkway into the garage. If I feel really ambitious I may even get the sidewalk in front of the house. It will be an opportunity for sunshine, but I am still willing to accept tickets to the true home of sunshine. The temperature is currently a whole 26 degrees. Melt snow, melt!!!!!!!

Winter is back and fierce, stuck at home


Well the snow is back, of course. At least we are at the end of February. Although, us northerners are tiring of this. The roads were clear last night, but this came in over night. It's Michigan. Hope you southerners are enjoying the warmth and sun. I think it may be 20 or lower. Melt snow, melt!!!!!!!!!

From Nothing to it's back again

Yesterday it was completely gone. Just old snow. But of course we live in Michigan, so mother nature gave us a present this morning. The kids also got their first snow day of the year. Although I believe we only got about an inch. They do not usually cancel school, so the kids were happily surprised. It is 10:04 and they are still in pajamas. They love the snow now. I liked it better yesterday. The temperature went from the 30's yesterday to 16 now. That's Michigan for you.

The snow is back, but nice and light


It snowed yesterday, just a little. My driveway and patio are already clear. There is more coming. So much for thawing. It was nice for a few days.

More Valentines

Got the picture order wrong, but I am still work in progress. TJ got pizza and candy, a good day for one of the SLO's.
Here is TJ making his own rules for limboing. Very cute, although his classmates had doubts about it being legitimate.

Thaw in Michigan( Yesterday)



Yesterday in my front yard.The snow is now gone in my front yard. Yesterday it was sunny and windy but very nice. I could have gone for a walk it was so nice. Today the kids went to school in their spring jackets and no snow pants. I have much fog now. Still at least 50 today. Florida is better but I will take this with no complaints. Michigan is loving it. Sorry to Emily that you only saw 40's, I will talk to mother nature for you. Maybe Ted can work some magic. Mom how do I get more than one picture. Have tried with no success?
Thank you for the comments. Thank you mom.

TJ's show off time


TJ showing his moves. He is proud of his moves and wanted to have the spotlight today. Nikki gets it next time. Have to be fair. For anyone who is interested. OSLO stands for the original small loud one. I am sure the aunts and uncles still remember me small and even loud. John was loud also, but I did come first. Hence the nickname OSLO. I believe Uncle Jim created that. He probably has footage somewhere to prove it.
