Good morning!! It's a beautiful morning. Even though it will be cloudy and cooler than yesterday, upper 60s is not a bad day! It looks like we may have some rain coming ... NOT snow! ... and that will make gardens so happy. I've seen lots of daffodils blooming, so I'm excited to see what decides to come up in my yard.
Last night for some reason I was so tired ... maybe the weekend catching up or something. I managed to watch AI (only really liked one girl!), and then went to sleep. I feel fairly rested this morning, so must have needed it! :) Hopefully that will carry over to tonight and I will do the things I thought I would do last night. The guys sing tonight, but not until a bit later.
Today is "Harriet Tubman Day" ... "Learn What Your Name Means Day" ... "Mario Day" ... "Registered Dietitian Day" ... "Paper Money Day" ... "Telephone Day" ... "Anniversary - Jupiter Effect" ... "Anniversary - Salvation Army (US)".
