Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's bright and clear, and looks like it will be a lovely fall day. It will be mid to upper 50s and sunny ... not a bad day; if I'm not too lazy, maybe I will plant some tulip bulbs, or at least prune a few shrubs.
Yesterday: It was a very productive day, although mostly because I had so much help. That's OK, that helps too and I'm very grateful for it! My friend and I went into town to check out "Ladies Day" at a local church. They had a lot of vendors there ... jewelry, Tupperware, candles, Pampered Chef. I got one more Christmas present, and a lot of ideas! Later, we got one more piece of furniture moved (a fairly small, easy one; but still), and I also got my dishes collection better organized. Her father came over and put up a ceiling fan in the den. YAY! Unfortunately, the 3rd fan turned out to be broken; maybe I'll find another one later. It was a cold, gray, wet day, so I made a big pot of soup. Yummy!
Today: I have a nice quiet day to myself. I plan (and you know how often my plans get side-tracked! LOL!) to do some cleaning in the kitchen; bring down the boxes with table runners and start getting the first layers in place; and paint a craft project for outside decorating. Hopefully I will also get laundry completely caught up, and do some routine cleaning. ")
