Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's cool and overcast, but not raining. The forecast is for "light rain and drizzle". The high today will be mid to upper 60s, much cooler than yesterday. But it's still nice spring weather, and the gardens need rain - as long as it's not enough to spoil any planned activities! LOL!
Yesterday: It felt like I rushed around a lot without getting a lot done. I had an early appointment, then took DH to dialysis and went to work. After work we had to stop for groceries, and stop to drop off some donations. By the time we got home it was time to fix dinner. It was time for the results show before I even got a chance to sit down! LOL!
Today: If the weather doesn't get "too bad", I'm hoping for a family visit. I'm really looking forward to it. This morning I've just got a few "routine" things to take care of; and I've got cooking started I'm mostly leaving the day "open", and will try to "go with the flow" (which we all know I'm not very good at! LOL!)
Today is "Chemists Celebrate Earth Day" ... "Earth Day" ... "Good Friday" ... "National Jelly Bean Day" ... "UN International Mother Earth Day" ... "Oklahoma Day (Oklahoma)".
