Good Morning! Sunday April 24, 2011

Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. Yesterday's clouds have finally started clearing, and we'll be back in the mid 80s again. Although there are a few lingering clouds this morning, the sun is peeping out a lot!
Yesterday: It was not as busy a day as I had hoped, because it kept raining, or at least drizzling. While DH was at dialysis I got a few errands run, and a little bit of planting done. The *big* accomplishment is to get a pump running in the pond again. Yay! The fish are cheering! LOL!
Today: We're going to visit DS and family for the day. And of course I'm running late. :)

Today is "Easter Sunday (Christian)" ... "Library of Congress Day" ... "Mother, Father Deaf Day" ... "National Pet Parent's Day" ... "Orthodox Easter Sunday / Pascha (Orthodox)".
