Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's a bit "milky" at the moment, but bright. The forecast is for mostly sunny, and no rain at all. It'll be warmer, mid to upper 70s.
Yesterday: We ended up having a busy and productive day. Not so much inside, but the yard got a lot of spiffing up! :) The huge trash pile (yard waste as well as the mounting piles of cardboard) were burned off. Bulbs got planted, gardens got weeded, decorative elements got tweaked. With the mild winter and early spring (even with the cooler temps this week, it's still mild), lots of flowers are blooming early and the yard is looking nice.
Today: Happy Easter!! Today I am not doing much at all. I have some "easy" projects I will work on. No laundry (well, except put up the rest from yesterday! LOL!), no cleaning except dishes and bed making. This afternoon I may just sit on the porch in the sun and read. :)

Good morning! It is a beautiful morning! It's bright and clear, and looks like it will be sunny all day. It's still a little on the cooler side, up to maybe upper 60s. There were frost warnings last night, but I don't think it got as cold here as predicted. This will be a lovely Easter weekend!
Yesterday: I got off to a very slow start, but by afternoon I did finally get busy and get productive. I went around and decluttered all rooms, and got bits and pieces of several small projects either finished or contained. Laundry is even mostly caught up.
Today: I'm hoping this morning to get some routine things under control, and then spend the afternoon doing minimal gardening (that's why I have a "gardener"! LOL!), and get an overload of yard debris and trash burned off before the winds come back. I'll try to fit some grocery shopping in somewhere; or maybe I'll just wait and do a "full" shop next week. It'll just depend on how the day goes. :)

April 6, 2012
Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. Somewhere during the night it began raining, and continued into this morning. The rain is supposed to give way to partly cloudy and breezy later. The high will only be low 60s .. some places will get cold enough at night for freeze warnings, but I think we're ok here. It's not unusual to have this last little gasp of chilly close to Easter!
Yesterday: I had a wonderful day. It started very early, of course. But I rode with my DB/DSIL to the town where our parents used to live, about 2 to 3 hours away. They took me and a friend of our parents out to lunch in a lovely old historic home. They also put flowers (beautiful red geraniums) on our parent's graves; and we also went by to have a look at the house they had lived in for many years. DB took the "scenic" route back, which was quite nice. And, I still got back home in time to drop off trash at the dump! LOL!
Today: It's starting out rainy and I'm starting out lazy. There are projects I need to work on and/or complete; and routine cleaning is falling a bit behind. I do have a load of laundry going. :) I should go to the grocery store (been wanting to get to the "big box" store). Right now, I haven't decided what I'll get done, but hopefully something productive. :)

Actually, April 5 is supposed to be "tiny" and April 6 "lunch". But, I had no time yesterday to post a picture .. and ... I actually have a lunch picture. So, I will switch the days. I hope the Photo-of-the-Day police don't come after me!

Good morning! It's a wonderful morning! It's very early (especially for me! LOL!), but I think it's pretty cloudy this morning. Right now it looks to be very foggy. Today will "only" be mid to upper 60s. I think there's only a small chance of rain; but we did get rain last night.
Yesterday: I got a late start on my day - just one of those "disorganized" mornings. But once I finally got moving, I got a lot done. I got rent paid, then treated myself to a manicure (which I promptly wrecked! LOL!). The I picked up a refill, checked out a shoe store (why do the only shoes they have look like they were made for skinny models or hookers???), got groceries at Wal-Mart, checked an outlet store, and one more grocery store. I barely beat the storm home! I actually cooked - I created my own version of a taco salad (it was very good!).
Today: I'm going to ride with DB/DSIL to visit a family friend. It will be a long day .. I have to leave very soon. But any day spent with family is a good day! :)
