Morning MMC! Happy Mid-Week and Pines Day! A cooler morning out here but that's ok. Looks like we will see some rain later today into tonight. We had a couple of nice days Monday/Tuesday weather-wise. Looks like the next 7 days high temperatures will be in the 50s and 60s so not any kind of extra warm April weather. Just a regular day today (I hope). Yesterday was one of those days where things got extra hectic. Ya know when 5 people ask you to do 5 different things and they all want it now? Lol...sometimes I wish that I had extra hands to do more things at once. Hope everyone has a good Pines Day as we head to back to back major milestones!
Good morning MMC !
day off paid work today, got lots to do around here.
just mixed some focaccia bread and it is rising now.
breakfast is cooking, bacon and eggs today.
Getting new tire on the van tomorrow, not liking the price but hey, it is needed.
have a great day everyone !!

Good morning MMC ~
Merry Pines Day!
It's going to be partly sunny, breezy and cooler today with highs around 50. We're currently at 44 degrees. I've been going back and forth here between putting the A/C on and the heat. I have to run a couple of quick errands this morning and then I'll be working on my daily chores. My middle one said she thought she might be coming down with something before she went to sleep last night. I'm hoping it's just allergies, otherwise we may be going to the doctor since this is her day off. I guess that's about it for me. I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Good Morning, Mid-Weekers.
And mid-week can only mean one thing.
(More about that at the end of the post.)
For now, let's look at the numbers and analyze the discussion to follow.
Days to the Season: 208
Days to Christmas Day: 250
Of course, a raw presentation of the daily numbers does not tell the whole tale.
In the words of Paul Harvey, "you are about to hear.....the rest of the story"!
And the rest of the story is that we are -- as of today -- down to ONE, LONE, SOLITARY WEEK to the 1/3 Christmas Day Milestone marker.
Add just one, lone, solitary day and we will find ourselves at the 200-day Season Window.
(Two Milestones in as many days. So much to absorb!)
Crossing our fingers that our fantastic weather will continue. It was a little cooler yesterday than the preceeding several, but still excellent. Today should be similar, followed by warmer temps tomorrow.
We are commencing this mid-week day at 59 degrees here in the capital city, and it looks a bit like it might rain.
OK. Open house Wednesday at the Shispering Pines, as usual.
Carl is ready, as usual, at the door with that first complimentary fired twinkie and tall one of sweet southern iced tea.
The inn is beautiful, as usual, with still fresh flowers from last week's Easter open house.
Of course, as usual, there will be experimental beverage blends of a mysterious nature with which Carl will beckon adventurous guests.
And, as usual, the question you will have to ask yourself is......do I feel lucky?
(Well do you, Folks?)
While you ponder an appropriate answer to that, have a Wonderful Wednesday, Everyone!

Good Wednesday morning! One last day of work this week and then 5 days off, which I'm really looking forward to. Rain is coming back today and it's quite cool. Hoping for more sun and warmer temperatures. I had a restless, dreams-filled night so I'm feeling tired this morning. I kept dreaming about Star Wars for some weird reason. I'll have time to rest more in the next dew days. Chope everyone will enjoy a great day!
Thanks Crown! Happy Pines Day!
so exciting to see the main season of the year so quickly roling around again !
do I feel lucky ? not sure, i think firrst I will see what Carls offerings are this time.
See you all at the pines !
Good morning MMC! Merry Pines Day!!! It's a dreary ol day here in Ohio with a chance of storms later this afternoon. Temps are still mid 70's so can't complain about that. But it will feel different out there by the weekend with highs in the mid 50's.
I hope everyone's day is off to a good start! See you tonight at the Pines.
