It's 9:30 pm and I'm wondering where Saturday went to!! It went by so fast, but this seems to be the norm on the weekends. There is so much to do and many of it I'm waiting for the weather to get a bit warmer first. It's to cold to be hot and to hot to be cold....make sense?

Two nights ago we had a frost warning and today it was in the 80's! The weather for the rest of the week looks promising. I do have hope that summer took a step closer to my doorstep today. About a half hour ago, fireworks went off down the street to kick off the first night of the local Carnival. Today we got our "sista-cuzz's" invitation to attend her daughter's High School Graduation party (Congrats Kare..we love you!) And, I put the last of our windchimes out on the porch. This time of year, I always get motivated to do projects around the house. ...
