Good Morning! Sunday March 27, 2011

Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's very gray, wet, and chilly .. a good "do nothing" day! LOL! It's only going to low 50s today; but they say the rain will ease off by afternoon. I'm sure the gardens are quite happy for the rain; and maybe it's time for the grass to start growing. I suspect this might be the "last gasp" of winter ... much better than the snow we've had in years past! :)
Yesterday: We ended up having a very busy day. I always rush around in the am on dialysis days. I went to pick up a friend, and then we took DH to town. While he was there, we grabbed a quick lunch and a quick trip to the grocery store. Once we came back here we both got busy. She finished tilling in the yard (before the rain started) where gardens are planned, and I got the cleaning done inside I needed to do. I even got trash to the dump again (yay!) before I picked up DH. We treated ourselves to subs (can get his made and stay within diet restrictions!). I even got a bit of work done on one of my sewing projects!
Today: It's hard to focus on a "to do" list on such a gray cay, but I do have a few things I hope to tackle. I have a few small cleaning projects, and will work on the sewing projects some more. And I'll try hard to resist wrapping up in a quilt and napping all day! LOL!

Today is "Education and Sharing Day" ... "Summer Daylight Savings Time (Europe)" ... "Summer Time (UK)" ... "Quirky Country Music Song Titles Day" ... "Anniversary - Funky Winkerbean".
