Goooood mornin', Early Birds!
It's warming up a bit for us, here!
I guess that's a good thing, but
We sure could use some rain!
Hasn't been any since October!
I sure don't want to go through drought any more!
Hope all of you have a wonderful day!
((((hugs))))

Good morning, Luv!

*HUGS*

They've uttered the dreaded "S" word here in D.C. Land and the locals are going postal. Luckily, I made it in to the office early - the roads will be a realm of anarchy before much longer.
