Here in NC we saw ice fall from the sky and then a nice layer of snow fell too just to make it interesting. That means the state closed up shop. Time to embark in some fun family times: board games, fireside chats (because the power was out) and dinner at the table by candle light. There has been a lot of time to spend together.
Now for some this is a blessing, for others, not so much. For me, it’s not so bad. We generally are stuck home when there is a weather event due to my location in the “sticks”. Homeschooling goes on, housework happens and we all go about our day. Though, even with my extreme homebodiness, there comes that moment when you just can’t stay inside anymore.
I watched the news, kept an eye on the weather and decided I would try to enjoy this storm and wait it out. But, by Saturday when my husband suggested we brave the outdoors, I was dressed and ready before he got up! I guess I do have my limits of being at home! So we went to the store to pick up a few things- mostly to get out of the house.
My driveway road had trees downed by ice which made the drive out a bit of an adventure. The main roads were clear so getting to the store not so bad. It started to snow again; just lightly enough to send us home. On the way back to the house, we decided to go ahead and cut down trees to make the road easier to traverse. It was a good outing.
All in all we survived the storm and managed to not be overcome by cabin fever. And, the good news is that it looks like we are going to warm up this week! That will make all the crystal trees coated with ice disappear, and the snow will melt, but so will the ice.
Back to your regularly scheduled homeschool activites.
