What is your favorite type of weather?

My favorite favorite above all is when its super foggy outside.

But my other more common favorites are misty fall days and also in the winter when it’s still kinda warm but just cold enough to snow and not completely melt the next day. I love the snow and love when it’s warm enough to actually go outside and enjoy it. Spring is here in Michigan but luckily we got a few weeks of that warmer but snowy weather before winter left.

What is your middle name? Does it carry any special meaning/significance?

Ella is actually my middle name. Fun fact I guess. It’s actually pretty special because it was also my great-great grandmother’s middle name. She died before I was born but she and my mother were really close. Ironically she and I are a lot alike despite her having not been part of my life. She was ahead of her time and divorced her husband (both my maternal grandparents actually come from a long line of divorcees stretching back to the 1850s, LONG before it was socially acceptable) and moved her and her kids from the south all the way up to Flint, Michigan to work for GM despite the fact that she couldn’t even drive herself and never wanted to learn to. (I was pretty much the same but did finally learn and got my license when I was 28). She never dated again let alone remarried and told everyone she didn’t have time for or interest in men. She had a close guy friend that worked at the factory with her that always asked her on dates and even to marry him but she always turned him down and she stayed just friends. She was also psychic and knew the day she would die for decades beforehand. She also had a twin brother who died before her, and on the day she died (which she’d correctly predicted) she saw her brother around her sitting in her room which of course scared the daylights out of the family. She was strong, stubborn, and I really truly wish I could have met her.
