Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's coolish and cloudy, but all the new growing things need rain. Hopefully we'll get some today. It will be upper 50s, maybe even 60. Then again, it may be cooler than that .. but it's still ok. This time of year, even a cloudy day is still colorful! :)
Yesterday I worked hard ... well, part of the day! LOL! I did have a lovely visit with a friend who came over and brought lunch .. yum! And it was fun to just sit around and talk awhile. I got some laundry done, a lot of cleaning (up until I broke my vacuum ... unfortunately, it's fixable). I made many trips up and down the stairs to put chairs up and bring down things to take to my son next weekend. And, I did manage to squeeze in a little bit of sewing. All in all, it was a pretty nice day!
Today I'm going to run some errands, and will probably do more (never-ending) laundry tonight. Other than that, I hope to relax!
