Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's clear and bright, and will go to low to mid 80s today. Even though it's a tiny bit over "normal", it's a lovely warm spring day. Cooler weather is coming (maybe even below "normal"), so enjoy this day!
Yesterday: That was another very busy day. After taking DH to dialysis, a few errands were done, and then home to the yard. I hired a teen (my friend's son) to help, and he did a very good job. The garden is about 80% weeded, prepped, and planted. Some new shrubs were planted in the front yard; and several more future garden sites got weeded. Also, my new yard lamp got "installed", and the huge pile of yard waste and dead tree logs was burned off (rare to have a day with very little wind so we could burn!). By last night, I was too tired to care if anything else got done! LOL!
Today: This will be a much quieter day. I will catch up laundry and dishes, work a bit on my "closed door" room. Later I'll probably head for the grocery store. Well, maybe I will. Maybe it'll wait until tomorrow (because I need to go mail some packages anyway). LOL! I will work a bit on filing paperwork, and hopefully get the next (overdue) sewing project lined up.
