Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's still a bit left over cloudy from yesterday, and there could be morning showers. It's supposed to clear on out, and get to the mid to upper 80s today.
Yesterday: It was a busy day, but very nice. My friend came over and helped clean the porch. It was supposed to be a gardening day ... lots still to get in the ground ... but it poured rain! I did a little bit of cleaning, and was really glad I've gotten to the point where most of the house stays at least neat. :) My DB and DSIL got here in late afternoon for a visit. We rode around the neighborhood a little bit; and then DB cooked some steaks on the grill. They were, as always, superb! I enjoyed every minute of their visit, and just wish it could have been longer and more often.
Today: It's a dialysis day, but no work. I have a few errands to run, and then hopefully it will be dry enough to work in the garden. We have (temporary) use of a plow for the area we'll have rows instead of raised beds. I really hope we get the tomatoes planted today!
Tonight I'll be trying to get things organized for us to go spend the day tomorrow with DS and family.
Today is "Easter Even" ... "National Bulldogs Are Beautiful Day" ... "St. George Feast Day" ... "UN World Book and Copyright Day" ... "Book Day and Lover's Day (Spain)" ... "Children's Day/ National Sovereignty Day (Turkey)".
