Good morning!! It's a beautiful morning! It's bright and clear, and should be very mild. I fell asleep before the weather last night, but I believe into the lower 60s today. YAY! I really hope to get a few outside things done this afternoon.
Yesterday I did really well. I got my errands run, and a lot of cleaning and decluttering done. Almost all of the Christmas and Valentines thngs are now back upstairs, packed neatly away in numbered boxes. I still have the one (undecorated) tree to go up. And, I have to see if I can get a box out from under the bed to change out the pictures. I put out my few St. Pat's things too; and in another few weeks, that will become Easter & spring.
I don't know what's on the schedule for today, other than the outside stuff. I do hope I'm as productive as yesterday ... sure is easier for me with lovely warm sunny days! :)
Today is "Academy Awards" ... "Namesake Day " ... "National Be Heard Day" ... "Anniversary - Suez Canal Opening".
