No School Today

It is so weird to have two days without school without seeing the white stuff on the ground. It is September for goodness sake! The winds that came screaming through southwest Ohio on Sunday did enough damage to close schools for two days so far, and according to Duke Energy, the wait for electricity could prolong our absence. Joey and I are very fortunate that we did not lose electricity, and that we have been able to open our house to our friends who are without power. Joey is still sleeping right now because he is so worn out from playing with all of our guests yesterday:)
We did lose our largest tree (a humongous locust), but with Jen's help I was able to get all of the debris cleared away. When Greg gets home, he has a formidable task waiting because the top half of the tree is perched precariously against another tree. Joey won't be allowed to play in the back yard until that danger zone is cleaned up.
Greg has been in Chicago which is having its own weather problems. Days of torrential rain and flooding have made the Windy City a miserable place to be for my sun-loving hubby. Luckily, he is on a three-day now and out of Chi-town.
