Today started with a minor kerfuffle. It was the middle of the night, actually 5:30 AM but who’s counting at this time of year? It was dark and a storm was gonna roll through. The GG jumped to attention and started closing various doors and windows both in the Lyme Lounge and the moomincabin. I was like, this is gonna be a plassover (although I got up and did woodsP anyway just in case). Guess what? It was a plassover. Right over Whitefish Bay (to the north of us) and into Canananada. So many storms do that. I was wishing for a big one.

And then there was the whole lamb stew/duck breast thing in the afternoon. The GG did a lot of good stuff today including two (count ’em) trips into town. After the second town trip he couldn’t really settle down. He was using his computer and calling North Country Trail folks and rummaging the refrigerator. That was driving me nuts but THEN he started to rummage the FREEZER! What is this? Is it lamb stew? He thought he remembered me asking him to buy lamb stew at Sparrow Meats in Ann Arbor to bring up here. I did NOT remember that. And. This looks like Sparrow packaging but it has SKIN on it so it doesn’t look like lamb stew. And it wasn’t. Eventually Lizard Breath came inside to finish her telecommute for the day and she reminded me that she had schlepped duck breast up from Sparrow. Yes. Skin.

The NPR station we listen to up here in the yooperland covers a very wide area via a number of sub-stations. Severe storms rolled through a whole lot of the area so ALL AFTERNOON I was hearing weather alerts from all over the state, even though none of them applied to the yooperland. But I didn’t hear anything from the Planet Ann Arbor. Then at the end of the day, our mouse texted about all of the severe storms that rolled through Ann Arbor. She couldn’t really check The Landfill because there were MANY trees down between her house and our house. I told her it was probably okay because the last time a tree fell on our house (out of two) our neighbor notified us about it.

And it *was* (probably) okay because our webcam is apparently working, which means we have power. The GG said the street looked flooded and there was debris in the driveway but it doesn’t sound like any trees fell on our house.
