Good Morning! Saturday April 24, 2010

Good morning! It's a beautiful day! It's a bit overcast, but will be going to mid 70s, so a lovely day for getting outdoor things done. My office gave me some gorgeous azalea plants in memory of Mama, and they will be planted today (I already had a place picked out that needed some - isn't it just amazing how God works things out!!). There are a few other things that need to be planted, and some weeding to do. I also still have those cabinets to assemble. It will be a very busy day!
Last night was - as I suspected - a "flop" night; although we did go out to get some dinner first. I did work a little on the organizing, just not much. I will make up for it today! :)

Today is "Library of Congress Day" ... "National Bulldogs Are Beautiful Day" ... "National Go Birding Day" ... "National Rebuilding Day" ... "Spring Astronomy Day" ... "World Tai Chi and Qigong Day".
