Good morning! It's a gorgeous morning! It's bright and clear already. It's around 35 out, but will warm up to low to mid 50s. YAY! Much as I love snow ... I'm tired of it always on weekends. LOL! Today I hope we'll get some of the Christmas things cleared out of the yard ... at least the ones that have toppled over in recent storms. I wanted to leave the lights up around the front door; but since the arch structure fell down, I guess that won't happen. Sad ... time for lights out.
I also have a lot of other things that need to get caught up today. I'm hoping my joints and the weather hold out! :) Tonight, of course, more Olympics. Last night I watched some ice dancing. It was lovely, but somehow not my favorite. I wonder what events we'll catch off and on during the day, and tonight. :)
Today is "Hoodie-Hoo Day (Northern Hemisphere)" ... "UN World Day for Social Justice" ... "Anniversary - Closest Approach of a Comet to Earth".
Quotes of the Day:
