Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's already clear and sunny, and will warm up to maybe close to 70. This will be just a perfect day, and hopefully the pollen won't be so bad after the rains Thursday night.
Last night I did laundry and started putting away Easter things. Over the weekend I'll get all the Easter (eggs and bunnies! LOL!) put away upstairs, and spring decor out. Well, at least, that's the plan. I also have some shelves to build; and some stuff to plant; and ordinary boring cleaning! LOL! Today we're going to run a few errands, change out winter curtains to summer ones, build and paint a computer shelf, and plant tomatoes. And whatever else we can fit in! :)
Today is "Baby Massage Day" ... "Commodore Perry Day" ... "Just Pray No: Worldwide Weekend Prayer and Fasting" ... "National Love Our Children Day" ... "National Siblings Day" ... "Salvation Army Founder's Day" ... "Anniversary - Safety Pin Patented".
