Good morning!It's a beautiful morning! Even though we need more rain, after 2 days it's nice to have sunshine again. More rain is coming later in the week; they're even mentioning the possibility of more "winter weather". Today, though, will be "normal", low to mid 50s , bright and clear. It must be a bit breezy right now, the wind chimes are singing!
Yesterday: Wow, we worked really hard yesterday. Almost everything got moved out of the room I'm re-organizing. I did manage to leave pathways to walk in! LOL! Also, all but one of the "big" trees are upstairs ... and that last one has been redecorated for Valentines. Actually, quite a few decorations got done. More work got done upstairs, using wall space to hang what ever would work. It was a tiring but satistying day.
Today: I have just a few more things to move, but mostly today will be an "easy" day (because I'm still tired! LOL!) ... just the usual cleaning and laundry, getting ready for another busy week. :)
Today is "Super Bowl XLV" ... "Waitangi Day (New Zealand)".
