Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! It's still cold, but the sun is shining brightly, so the gloomy gray is gone. Today will be low 40s and sunny; and it looks like all week will be in the low 40s. I find it so much easiser to get things accomplished inside when it's bright outside (especially since my house tends towards dark all the time). A lot got done yesterday. I picked up my helper friend, and we ran a few errands. Then we came back here and in between HGTV breaks (we're both "decorating-junkies"! LOL!), the big tree came completely down and bagged (even the lights are labeled!). OK, truth is, she did that! :) But I did make several trips up and down stairs. Another full box is packed, and I made some progress on clearing off the table. I have Valentine decorations ... just have to finish clearing away all the clutter so they show up! I really hope today to finish with the clutter, get all the holiday linens washed and packed; and bake some cookies! :)
Today is "Ballet Day" ... "Man Day" ... "Wave All Your Fingers At Your Neighbors Day" ... "Independence Day (Grenada)".

"Use what talents you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best."
