Winter is Back

It snowed a few inches this morning. It was a surprise since we had really warm weather yesterday. The last time I posted about Spring it was this same cherry tree. Now it’s covered with snow and ruining the blooms. The snow won’t last long though. It’s going to get warm tomorrow and into next week.

Snow!

A snowstorm kind of snuck up on us. We couldn’t believe it was actually going to happen because yesterday it was 67°. But we woke up this morning and it was snowing like crazy. We decided to get out and walk around the neighborhood to see the snow. I shot a little video of our walk. In the end we got 7 inches of snow. Schools were closed today and they have already cancelled school tomorrow for lots of systems in the area. Check out the video:

Hurricane Visit

Hurricane Ida hit the gulf coast on August 29th. It was almost a direct hit to New Orleans, where my husband’s parents live. They tried getting a flight out the Friday before but the flight was cancelled. They ended up staying there for the hurricane with their daughter. A few days after the storm they returned home to a small amount of damage to their house but no water and no electricity.

They decided to come and visit us. They’ve been here almost two weeks, relaxing and not thinking of the hurricane damage. Tonight we we took them out to dinner with our friends. We had a great time catching up with them and taking their minds off the hurricane. Not sure how much longer they will be staying with us but I’m glad we were able to help them in their time of need.
