I entered an alternative dimension this morning when I got up, looked outside, and May was here already! Wow, where have all those cold Michigan months gone? Maybe to California?? Anyway, it gave me quite the "spring fever" if even just for a day. You know what they say about Michigan weather...if you don't like it, just blink. So, I blinked and got to enjoy a beautiful warm, but windy day.
Hubby decided to break out some tools and work on our deck. Late last summer we decided to downsize the giant deck because we weren't using it as much, and staining that big thing is a j-o-b. So we tore a big section out, leaving a big ugly spot of sand. More landscaping to do...
And then, of course on a nice warm day, what do you feel like doing? Grilling out, of course!
Chicken just doesn't taste right on a gas grill, so we dusted off the Weber for this very occasion...it's almost ready! Throw on a few fresh cut apple twigs, and it's delish!
Steve and I also took a nice walk. Upon stepping out the door, I let out a big "Whoo Hoo!" and Steve followed, my dear mockingbird that he is! So what, who cares...we have nothing but wildlife for neighbors, right? We also took a nice drive-windows down! Found some swans and ducks enjoying some open water in the sun....ahhh
I hear the weather will change yet again tonight, bringing us back to the stark cold reality of January in Michigan, but guess what? Carpe Diem. SEIZE THE DAY, and those cold days won't matter nearly as much!
