Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's clear and sunny, and will go to the upper 80s today ... wow! Where did spring go? LOL! I think it might be back by the end of the week. Meantime, bright hot sunny days means watering!! I still have trees to plant, hopefully I can find time for that soon.
We got home late yesterday afternoon after a wonderful Easter with son, dil, and grands. We went to church with them, watched the kids have an egg hunt in the yard, and had a lovely dinner before we had to head home.
Tonight is class night, and hopefully finishing up some laundry. Tomorrow I should get home with enough daylight to try to plant a tree! :)
