Why does it seem like every Monday so overcast and grey?
Good morning from Northside…
It started raining again this morning…
This airplane was flying east to west which was weird because we see a lot of planes over Northside but they all fly north and south, not east and west. It was kind of odd…
Good evening from Northside…
Mondays are just so bleh, especially when they are all rainy and grey. But these photos from my Timehop made today a little sunnier…
😀🌄☁️🌧️☔️❤️

It was raining again this morning…
The waterfall from the neighbors gutters was in full effect…
Oscar did not want to go out in the rain…
Eventually, the rain stopped long enough to go on a quick walk…
Good morning from Northside…
We didn’t have a big puddle on the side of our house…
We put together this little entryway table…
We got sammiches from NYPD Pizza for lunch…
NYPD is so good. After we were done eating the sun came out….
Good evening from Northside….
Mack and Oscar were drinking out of the same water bowl again…
There was an almost a full moon tonight…
Today was also my 1100th Timehop in a row…
And there were photos of these two in my Timehop today…
We had a great Saturday. 😀🌄🌧️☔️🥪🐾❤️

There were a bunch of ants on the sidewalk…
Good morning from Northside…
Hi Oscar…
And, Hi Mack…
Mack must have been trying to hide his new hedgehog toy from Oscar by putting it in the bedroom trash can…
Good evening from Northside…
We ordered an elevated dog cot for our back patio…
Oscar wasn’t real sure about it at first…
But I think he likes it now…
It was a very pretty evening…
But while we were sitting on our back patio this evening, out of nowhere we could hear lots of thunder but we couldn’t see any lightning or even dark storm clouds…
It was exact opposite of when we were out on the deck in the Outer Banks, and there was all sorts of the lightning but no thunder. Both were kinda odd. But we had a really good Friday.

Guess what? It was overcast and raining again this morning…
It’s like we live in the Pacific Northwest or something…
Good morning from Northside…
Oscar was getting so fuzzy…
He got a haircut today at Petsmart and now he looks so handsome…
We made it through our Wednesday and then it was time to walk the dogs again.
This is Chloe…
She lives down the street from us…
Hi Chloe!
Good evening from Northside…
It looked like there was another storm rolling in…
It also looked like Mack was watching the soccer game…
Meanwhile, Oscar was just using the footrest of one of our dining room table benches as a pillow…
It doesn’t look like the most comfortable pillow. 😀🌄🌧️☔️🐾❤️

We only made it up to the end of the street…
And it pretty much rained all day. Genifer made cauliflower and chickpea curry for dinner tonight…
It was really good. She always finds the best recipes.
After we were done eating, it almost stopped raining long enough for us to get out and around the block…
Good evening from Northside…
And then it started raining some more. Ugh. It was just one of those rainy days.
We watched a few more episodes of Ragnarok tonight. 😀🌄🌧️🍜⛈️📺❤️

It was pouring down rain this morning. The dogs didn’t even make it to the end of the street before they turned around to head for home…
Genifer ordered us Chipotle for lunch again…
This is how mack was sleeping in our office studio while I was working…
It stopped raining in time for our evening walk..
Good evening from Northside…
Genifer has been working on painting our dining room…
We ate the rest of our Chipotle for dinner and headed upstairs for the evening…
We need to find a new series to watch. 😀🌄☔️🌧️🌯🖌️❤️

I love this part of time off from work when you wake up in the morning and you’re not entirely certain exactly what day it is…
The clouds were so pretty this morning…
Good morning from Northside…
I ordered this adorable westie pendant for Genifer for Christmas…
I purchased it on December 12th. It didn’t ship until December 18th. It shipped USPS so it’s journey took almost forever. It arrived today. And this is what was in the box…
Delightful. Now I get to track down what I actually ordered.
Genifer ordered us Chipotle for lunch again…
It started raining this afternoon and just kept raining…
I accidentally took this photo but I kind of like it…
And a very rainy good evening from Northside…
But our basement is still completely bone dry…
Thursdays are trash and recycling days…
We had leftover lasagna for dinner with garlic bread…
I love meals with garlic bread. Genifer made deep dish cookies for dessert…
We started to watch Equinox on Netflix tonight. It seems pretty good so far.
In my Timehop from two years ago, my photos on Google Maps had just gone over 3.5 million views…
Fast forward to today and my photos have 63 million views…
And that’s pretty cool, if you ask me. Also four years ago, it snowed…
We don’t snow very often. But we do get a lot of great days, just like this one.
😀🌄☁️🌯🌧️🗺️❤️

Bleh. Good morning from Northside…
When I was putting this blog post together, I had a hard time figuring out if these were photos from this morning or yesterday evening. It all just looked the same… very, very grey and awfully damp…
We ran over to Lowe’s this morning…
Lowe’s had all their Christmas stuff out in full force…
Christmas trees are silly expensive at Lowe’s…
It must be the frosted tips or maybe the lights…
We got our artificial Christmas tree for a fraction of that a couple of years ago. We found it on one of those deals and discounts websites after Christmas. And I guess we got a really good deal. I liked this wreath…
We’re thinking about replacing the carpeting in our bedroom with this embossed wood plank laminate flooring in Seaside Chestnut…
We want to remake our third floor bedroom to have a coastal cottage feel. Genifer wants to paint our bedroom. Here’s the colors she’s thinking…
And I really liked this rug…
And then we went back to Biggby for coffee…
I tried this new Biggby maple waffle breakfast sammich…
It was really good. I would definitely eat it again.
And after some football, it was good evening from Northside…
We watched my Minnesota United host their first home playoff match tonight against Colorado Rapids. Andhe Loons earned their first playoff victory with a 3-0 win over Colorado led by two goals from Kevin Molino…
Take that, Stan Kroenke.
Two years ago, we were in Dallas for Thanksgiving. And I ate the spiciest chicken sammich I have ever eaten. It was so delicious but soooo spicy…
Thanks for the memories, Timehop.
It was just a low-key weekend with all the rain. 😀🌄🌧️🎄☕️🏈⚽️🦕🐔🔥❤️

Good morning from Northside…
It looked like it was going to be another grey and overcast day. Hopefully, the sun will come out a little bit later just like it did yesterday.
Bear has become my new shadow. It seems like he’s never more than a few feet away. While I was working today, he slept in Mack’s crate next to me in our office. And he brought all of his new favorite toys with him…
The sun never came out today. It was grey and overcast all day long…
Good evening from Northside…
We tried to play in our backyard before it started to rain…
The sky started getting darker and darker…
When we got upstairs, it was starting to sprinkle again…
And then it started getting really yellow outside…
It was just a really grey and rainy day. 😀☁️❤️

Good morning from Northside…
I love these types of clouds. They’re so pretty…
After we walked the dogs this morning, we ran over to Kroger. I’m really happy that they finally made wearing a mask mandatory in public…
We stocked up on Shining Stars…
Today, Kroger had both the bear and the train in the international aisle…
Kroger’s been having a balloon display by the vegetables recently…
The cutest display was with the condiment balloons or the Cinco de Mayo balloons.
After we got our groceries from Kroger, we ran into Meijer to look for another one of the Venus in-store displays I designed. And there it was…
This display looked really great as well. And then we stopped at Mad Llama for coffee…
When we got home, I had a big bowl of Shining Stars with my Mad Llama Java Whip…
After work. we had delicious BLTs for dinner…
I really love BLTs. When we took the dogs for their evening walk, the skies looked kinda ominous and threatening…
Thankfully, it seemed like those dark clouds had passed us…
The ice cream man drove by…
Of course, we didn’t have any money on us. Because we were just walking the dogs.
Good evening from Northside…
It was starting to look threatening again. But when we were walking down the steps, the sun came back out. At the bottom of the steps, we saw this Northside sidewalk snail but it was hiding inside its shell right in the middle of the sidewalk…
I picked it up and moved it over so it wasn’t right in the middle of the sidewalk…
Those are some really grey clouds. I’m happy we made it through another work week.
This evening we watched more of Hanna Season 2 on Amazon Prime. 😀🗓️❤️
