Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! It's bright and clear, and will probably stay mostly clear today. It's going to be low 70s and breezy, which might be a bit cool; but perfect for working in the garden!
Yesterday: As always, a dialysis and work day is a bit busy and chopped up. Since we went in early, there was a bit more afternoon left, which was nice. I got some groceries on the way home. At home, I got 3 loads of laundry done; dishes caught up; a lot of work on the wewing project, and even some paperwork attended to! Of course, I stayed up too late! LOL!
Today: Today will be busy too. The nurse has long since come and gone, and several morning chores done. I have to go into town for a few errands, but then hope to have a large chunk of the day for playing in the dirt! I think today we'll get the first things planted in the big garden, at least one tree planted, and several flowers potted up. Tonight I'll finish putting away the clean laundry, work on the sewing project, and hopefully finish up a paperwork project. :)
