Good Post- and Pre-Milestone Morning, Fellow MMC Citizens.
Both post and pre. It is ever thus.
But we will get to our new Milestone marker in just a moment.
As always, we begin with this:
Days to the Season: 273
Days to Christmas Day: 315
OK.
Now that we have officially entered the SECOND quarter of our Season count, it is already time to turn our attention to the next pending marker in our annual holiday journey.
The number is suggested above. The 300-day Christmas Day Window. It will be here in just 15 days.
TWO WEEKS from tomorrow.
(Gee. BOTH of our counts will then be under 300!)
It was supposed to be wet and warm yesterday. Only half of that proved to be the truth. Oh, the rain came alright. But it stayed quite chilly, in the 40's instead of the predicted 60's.
Today's high is stated to be in the mid 50's with a 0 percent chance of rain. We will see what actually happens.
Our beginning temperature for this mid-week day is 43 sunny degrees, here.
And speaking of mid-week, that can only mean another 'Pines Day open house, this one being the evening before Valentine's Day.
There is no doubt chocolate will play a major part in tonight's theme. The grapevine has already confirmed chocolate-chip fired twinkies will be available and there is a strong likelihood of a chocolate-coffee blend. The inn is decorated in lots of red and white with hearts everywhere.
Should be a sweet evening. And a good one not to miss.
Have a Wonderful Wednesday, Folks!
