Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It started off gray and rainy, but it's already working on clearing off. It also started warm, but it's supposed to drop during the day, and be quite chilly by this afternoon.
This is not totally bad, as we need rain; but wow, was there ever a lot of fierce wind last night!
Yesterday: I was really busy, even though it was also mostly cloudy. The rain held off until dark, but it was very bery windy. Still, we got most of the outside decorating done. There are just a few things left that can't be completed in the wind! Last night I got laundry caught up, and packing done.
Today: I got up nice and early, and we (DS & I) left the house by 7:15. I'm now at his house, he's gone to work, the dogs have settled down, and it's peaceful and quiet. Today I will do a few little things around here to help out; work on a scheduling project; and just be generally lazy. :)
