Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. Today will be mid to upper 70s, and partly to mostly cloudy. There's a chance of showers late in the day. This is turning into a lovely spring, despite the strange changes in temperatures.
Yesterday: My half day at work was more tiring than I expected - probably because I didn't *really* want to be there! LOL!! But, it's ok, since my employers seem glad for me to be back, even for so few hours. Not very much got done at home, but I did finish the cutting stage for my sewing project!
Today: This morning is being devoted to getting household things caught up. This afternoon will be spent in the garden. And tonight will be (at least partly) spent at the sewing machine! It doesn't sound like a lot, summed up this way, but I expect it'll be a pretty busy day. I'm really hoping to get all the garden frames (for raised beds) in place, some of the soaking shrubs planted, and some progress made on the sewing project. And, of course, fit it the "usual", laundry, dishes, meals, dishes, cleaning, dishes ... LOL!
Today is "Hana Matsuri (Flower Festival - Japan)" ... "National D.A.R.E Day".
