Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. Yesterday's morning sun turned to clouds by the end of the day, and it rained all night. This morning it's still very overcast, but I have spotted glimpses of blue. They say it'll stay cloudy and windy with off and on showers - but very warm, in the mid to upper 60s.
Yesterday: I had a very busy spell during the afternoon. I dropped off more donations (yay, more *stuff* out of the house!), got a hair cut, did a bit more grocery shopping, picked up some refills. I did do a bit more around the house, but after all that running around I mostly sort of vegged during the evening! LOL!
Today: I'm doing something new and different for me ... I'm going to a Red Hat luncheon. The group is going shopping after, but I think I might pass on that. I still have things to finish getting done at home. It's going to be an interesting day to say the least! :)

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. There seem to be a few "milky" clouds, but it's mostly bright out, and seasonably mild. Today should be upper 50s, maybe even low 60s if the wind stays fairly calm. It's great that it's mild and pleasant to be outside; but I'm still hoping for some "real" winter weather ... snow!! ... at some point. (not a lot, just enough to be pretty!)
Yesterday: With help, we all worked hard, and .. ta DA ... Christmas is packed away. I'm still finding odds and ends as I straighten areas, but very little (and I know where they go!!). Plus, the main rooms even got a good cleaning. The snowman collection has partially migrated into the living room; and Valentines is beginning to appear in the dining room. But right now, it still looks sort of empty! LOL! We also found time to make a huge trash/recycles run, and later go to town for some errands and a few groceries, so it was a busy day!
Today: This morning I gave myself "permission" to sleep late; so of course, everything else is late! LOL! But I did do a bit more decluttering early on, so the house is still nice and neat. I have a hair appointment later, and while out will take a donation run. With that, a huge amount of "stuff" will have left the house in the last few days. No wonder it feels so empty! :) This evening I'll start working on getting my family framed photos back in place - that will make the house feel "better" for me.
The landing no longer looks sad and empty. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the antique piece work mini-quilt my sister made for me for Christmas!!

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's bright and clear, and should stay mostly sunny today. For a change we get "normal" with a high in the low 50s; and hopefully not so windy!
Yesterday: A really lot got accomplished, and well over 2/3 of the packing up is done. I even had time for a mini-shopping excursion (dog food on sale! LOL!). And last night - as those who've known me longest will know I'm happy about) the new season of American Idol started.
Today: Hopefully today we'll finally finish packing up and putting away all of the remaining Christmas stuff. There are still 5 trees (2 "big" and 3 "small") to go up, and a lot more boxes - but there's space for them.
The dining room is on it's way to change over from Christmas to Valentines.

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. Storms moved in last night, and we got a lot of rain - and even some thunder! It was still raining early this morning, but now it's clearing out and will be a mostly sunny day. But, we're back to cold, only going to upper 40s today.
Yesterday: A lot of work got done yesterday. Many more boxes of decorations were packed, listed, and put (neatly!) upstairs. Several more trees went up as well. more than half done, which is probably a speed record for me! LOL!
Today: I have help again today, but also have some interruptions. I have errands to run, and DH has his weekly appointment this afternoon. I still hope to get the remaining clutter under control so that by tomorrow the remaining Christmas (except the snowmen, which are "winter" and not strictly Christmas) will all be packed away upstairs for the next 9 months or so. :)
It's hard to get a good picture, but there are 3 large and many many small trees upstairs. I think there are about 17 packed boxes, but I keep losing count. :)

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. There are some clouds, and I believe they will be building through the day; but it's not an all-over gloomy cloudy day. And now we're on the "up" of the see-saw with a high in the mid to upper 60s!
Yesterday: I did basically nothing at all. I spent a large part of the day (very unusual for me) wrapped in a quilt semi-watching TV. I did make a few half-hearted passes at packing things; and went to bed early. (well, earlier than usual at least).
Today: I finally feel rested, and hope my energy level holds out. A friend is coming to help, and it's time to get really serious about getting up Christmas. My house looks like a cyclone went through - I'm not really liking this "look"! LOL!
Progress is being made upstairs. The stair landing looks so sad and empty without one of my favorite trees, but it had to go up in order to have room to move everything else up.

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning (and yes, it IS stil morning - barely! LOL!). Today has started out clear and bright, and cold. They're saying clouds will begin to move in by later in the afternoon, and we should have a high around 50ish.
Yesterday: All things considered, I ended up getting a fair amount of packing and cleaning done. Mostly, though, I had to assemble all the various gear for an overnight stay. We headed out late afternoon, with a stop for dinner on the way. DH had a new sleep study done (with, I might add, a most delightful technician taking care of the testing), so it was an unusually TV-free evening. :)
Today: The study ended shortly after 5:00. It took awhile to get everything squared away, but we were on the way home shortly after 7:00. Both of us came home and slept a few more hours! LOL! So the rest of the day will be getting the gear out of the car and set back up; and maybe even another nap! LOL! I doubt much else will get done; but who knows, I might rest up enough to find another little burst of energy. As of this morning, I officially have 98 readers!! Wow!! I wonder how long it will take me to find 2 more readers to "move up" to 3 digits? :)

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's bright and sunny and "crisp"! :) Today will be mid to upper 40s; and over the next week, apparently the temps will be up and down in about a 20 degree range. The wind, for now, has eased off.
Yesterday: I did manage to do some of what I planned; but mostly I had a pretty lazy day. The upstairs room is reasonably clean and neat, and I've started working on getting Christmas stuff put away neatly.
Today: I've already worked on some stuff this morning, but I don't expect to get a lot done today. Late this afternoon we'll leave for an overnight excursion, so getting all the required junk assembled might be an all afternoon job! LOL!
The bare beginnings of getting Christmas packed away ... 9 trees and 8 boxes and no idea how many to go (a lot!)
