Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. As is beginning to seem "normal", it's starting out misty; but it's bright, and I can see "hard shadows" of the trees. It should be a perfectly gorgeous day, mid to upper 80s and mostly sunny. I have company coming, so for once am very glad of no rain in the forecast! :)
Yesterday was a wonderfully productive day. With some help, several major projects got completed (or mostly done). This morning I'm doing a bit of "last minute" cleaning and baking. Later today a niece is coming for her first ever (much too short) weekend visit. I'm so excited about that. Then this afternoon several family members are joining us for visiting, food, target shooting, food, and fun. Oh, and food. LOL!
Today is "Dream Day Quest and Jubilee" ... "Feast of Saint Augustine" ... "Race Your Mouse Around the Icons Day".
