Day 93

We have a new "red light" system. Brandon has been working from home for 3 months now and we just came up with this system, which I have to give credit to my sister in law. We have a wifi color changing light bulb. We put it in the centralized kitchen sidebaord table lamp. When he is not to be interrupted and needs the house quiet, the red light is on. When the doors are closed but the light isn't red we can go in if we need to. I am finding that his office may not be the best place to store my cookbooks! The light seems to have a lot of power and is well respected...among our family and friends who may drop by! 

Things are starting to open up, but the guidelines still really vary from establishment to establishment. 

The story of the day however is snakes. Specifically snakes in trees. Our neighbor sent me a message asking me if I had seen them....well no, I sure hadn't. After whispering to Brandon that something needed our attention outside I quickly became aware that we did indeed have NOT one BUT TWO snakes in our tree. I don't like snakes. Apparently we made enough commotion that Grant eventually poked his head out. After giving him very clear instructions "Please go inside. Do not come out here." He promptly joined the party. They received a long lecture about listening at dinner. They had been playing hide and seek by that tree less than 30 minutes prior to the snake discovery and I didn't want them to be afraid to play in our yard. Grant's response "Mom, it is just a snake, no big deal." Well this mom might not feel the same way!
