Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's still cloudy, and we still need rain! :) It's a bit cool ... but after all, winter is on the way, and cool (60s) isn't so bad. Besides, cooler is better when there's a lot of work to be done! LOL!
I got a lot done yesterday. I'd have gotten more done if my friend had been able to come help; but I'll go get her today. I can't wait to see how much we're able to accomplish.
This morning I'm going to take that report by the office, then go pick up my friend. We'll make a quick grocery store stop, and then back here to see how much mischief we can create! LOL!
