Seventy plus degrees in Michigan in November. How is that a thing? I'll take it. I'm enjoying it. But how is that a thing?
I've gone on two hikes this week. I'm not adjusting to the time change and early darkness very well, and Thursday evening had me crawling out of my skin restless. I grabbed my camera and Mark and we went for a hike at Kensington. I'm a little nervous about this lull between fall and winter sports when my normal dark month activities are limited or not happening at all. I need to get rid of and/or move some furniture around to make room for some creative space. For everyone's sanity.
This week has been so warm, that yesterday had Mark itching to take a record late dip in our local lake. We were a little surprised at how low the water level was when we got there. The beach was twice the normal size. Between that and no buoys to give him any distance/space awareness, he ended up just doing a dunk rather than swimming laps. November 7th. A new record. There is no doubt in my mind that he would have done a lap had the water level been right.
On this beautiful afternoon, we ended up at Greg's sister's home for our nephew's birthday.
The kids played what they called Covid Tag.
The rules: If you get tagged, you're infected and then you turn into a zombie.
Heard: Are you infected?
Back to our Thursday nature hike, I think Mark fed at least 30 birds from his hands in under 5 minutes. We've done this multiple times, and never had the action that we had this night. I should have done video, but honestly - I was just so caught up in it that I almost didn't even get any pictures. There were moments when he had five in his hands at once. #simplepleasures

On deck this week - it's a quiet week
- Brian made the archery team - so, parent meeting
- I need to make eye appointments for both Brian and myself
- Haircut appointment for me
- Hunting season. I've challenged my husband to get a bigger buck than that 8 point above. I got a couple dozen pictures of that buck, as he stood still and calm for a long time, fully aware that we were there.
- And that's about it. I'm going to be restless.
