Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. The clouds are starting to move in, and the morning sky has streaks of pale pink and blue under heavier clouds. It will be upper 60s today and rain likely by afternoon. We need rain, so it's welcome; probably won't be "enough".
Yesterday: I skipped the errands after work so I could get some things done at home. I got a bit of straightening, organizing, and laundry done. I had a lovely phone conversation with my brother - for such as that I would gladly skip all the cleaning! :)
Today: After work today I will drive down (about 2 hours) to DS's home. I hope it's not raining, or at least not too hard. I'm looking forward to seeing DS, DIL, and my 2 grands, even for just one evening. :)
