Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's still a bit overcast, but not dark and gloomy looking. We're still, like the rest of the country apparently, in a deep freeze. High today to be mid 30s ... which may not be as cold as a lot of my friends; but it sure is cold for NC, and for MY house! LOL! We've been blessed though, no storms and no power outages.
Last night ... I really didn't do anything once again. It's a bit chilly inside (conserving gas). This morning I'm off to a slow start, but once I get busy I know I'll warm up. I hope to try to get the upstairs room clean and organized today, and start bringing down the boxes to pack away decorations. And I think a few of the trees may go upstairs today. I had a funny thought about that. Perhaps I'll put some of them near the windows, and leave them plugged into timers for a few more months! LOL! Wouldn't be seen from inside; but it would make the house a bit more cheerful to drive up to at night! :)
Today is "National Apricot Day" ... "Aviation Day" ... "Step Father's Day" ... "Aviation in America Day" ... "Balloon Ascension Day" ... Connecticut Day".
