Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! The sun is shining, and it will be warmer today. I think we may re-arrange the plans, and try for some outside stuff this afternoon ... seems a warm sunny day is rare right now! I'll happily change the sequence of what needs to be done to take advantage of it.
Yesterday we got a lot done. Curtains are up, plants are in, table covers are on, and the first layer of decorating has begun. And I was SOOOO tired last night! LOL! But, a good night's sleep (and getting to sleep late!), and I'm ready to start again.
Today is "Clichй' Day" ... "General Election Day (US)" ... "Sandwich Day" ... "Culture Day (Japan)" ... "National Day (Dominica)" ... "Independence Day (Micronesia)" ... "Independence Day (Panama)".
Quotes of the Day:
