Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's clear and bright and breezy, and altogether gorgeous. Today will again be mid 80s. Even though this won't last, it feels so much like fall. :)
Yesterday was very busy; but in the end, I did accomplish the few "important" things I needed to get done. We spent most of the day roaming around antique shops and flea markets. I even got some Christmas shopping done! Jimmy had a busy day too ... it took him 2 hours to untangle the rug he got hung up in the lawnmower! (trying hard not to laugh here!) We decided last night was a good night to go to our favorite restaurant. :)
Today will be busy. There are lots of things I need to do (like watering!!) to take advantage of this brief spell of lovely weather. It will be a great day to turn off the a/c and open the doors too. I also need to finish up the "routine" things (that I probably should have done yesterday), so that I can begin to tackle "The Plan". I won't follow all my special projects here, but anyone who would like to follow along is welcome to check my blog ... http://mychristmascountdown.blogspot.com/
