Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! It's bright and clear, although clouds will be moving through later. They're saying we'll go up to mid 40s today ... and then have an above-normal warm up by tomorrow! YAY! They also said a (very small) possibility of flurries last night ... I don't know where, sure wasn't here! LOL!
I admit, very little packing or anything else got done last night. I was just plain cold .. really glad for the warm up! Tonight I will need to get a load of laundry done ... and tonight AI starts! My Tuesday (and Wednesday) nights are spoken for!! LOL!
