Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. Yesterday's clouds are gone, and it's clear and bright. It'll be warmer than yesterday, mid 40s, and the clouds coming back later in the afternoon. For several days they've been hinting at more "winter weather" to come; but now they're saying it's too warm for anything frozen and we'll get much needed rain. Sadly for the snow-lovers, this is more typical NC weather!
Yesterday: It was a very busy day, but turned out well. Everything got done (a major achievement for me! LOL!), a few friends from work came over, and all in all everything went nicely. It was close to dark when the last people left; and then I took my niece home, and another friend home.
Today: I have things to do, but it's going to be a little bit lazy day. I'm already running behind "schedule". Oh well. LOL! I have a few more dishes to wash up, and have laundry going. I think this afternoon we'll put together one more shelf unit upstairs; and then dream about a garden. Spring can't be too far off ... can it? :)
Today is "National Handwriting Day" ... "National Pie Day" ... "Snowplow Mailbox Hockey Day" ... "Babin Den (Bulgaria".
