Hi, Hello and Ho-Ho-Ho, Hump-day Hooligans, Hardly Hiding Hilarious Happiness!
Yes, it's truly "H" day today, not to mention the first 'Pines open house of the new month.
But more about Carl's special plans in a moment.
First, let's gaze upon the latest figures and what they represent:
Days to the Season: 135
Days to Christmas Day: 177
And what they tell us is that in less than 2 weeks now, we will be entering the FINAL THIRD of our Season count.
My! My!
A tad warmer yesterday with a light late-day rainstorm. Cooled things off just a bit.
Today? Well, perhaps an elevated chance of rain, but all in all, not bad.
This center-of-the-week morning has dawned at 71 degrees here in central North Carolina.
OK, Guys. First 'Pines open house of the new month and last open house before the Fourth of July.
And you long-time visitors to the Shispering Pines know what that means.
Red, white and blue frosted fired twinkies.
Patriotic music. (Carl is a big fan of Sousa.)
Carl dressed as Uncle Sam, complete with white whiskers. (And you haven't lived until you have seen a camel with white whiskers.)
And pyrotechnics. Oh, the pyrotechnics! You can't miss them. (Just be sure they miss you!)
See you there this evening.
Have a Wonderful Wednesday, Folks!
