Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. Yesterday's clouds and rain have moved on, and today will be clear and bright. It's also a lot colder ... low 50s ... which is much more "seasonable". I'm trying telling myself that the reason I'm dragging out Christmas decorating is because it's been so warm. :)
Yesterday: Our shopping trip was successful in that we got what we wanted, and found a lot more good bargains. Then we got a little bit more tweaking and decluttering done here; though we were so tired, we had to stop early. Still, several of the trees are "tweaked" and decorated; more of the outside stuff is placed and lit; most of the nutcracker collection has found homes; and there is a blank spot for the big tree and working space nearby.
Today: When family gets here ... not sure when ... we'll put up and decorate the "big" tree. So far I've gotten dishes done, bathroom cleaned, and laundry started. In a few minutes I'll take trash by the dump and go to the grocery store (was too tired yesterday! LOL!). It's going to be another busy day, and I'm looking forward to it! :)
