A good day

It was a great day today.  The rain yesterday was much needed, but the cold, damp, greyness of it all was almost saddening.  Today, the sun shined and the temperature rised, and we had a great day.

Mom fed us spaghetti and garlic bread, followed by earthquake cake.  It was awesome.  Then, we tinkered around outside, but didn't stay too awfully long.  We came home, and Pat stopped by to fix my drippy sink.  WoooHooo!  No more soggy trash bags.  Then,  I headed outside to poke around.

I wound up raking and cleaning up the yard quite a bit.  Kevin cleaned out the window wells that were full of leaves, since I kept wondering what might be living in there.  I don't mind snakes, as long as I don't accidentally stumble upon them.  I found several flowers blooming up front, which was exciting.  We raked and bagged and just tried to clean up.  I can't wait for the yard to be green again, but it will be, now that the rain has decided to make a showing.  There are several more chances this week.

Well, I'm off to watch the Oscars....or some of it, anyway.  I'll probably go to bed early, since Monday's are often rough.  It's been a good day, and I love it when we accomplish something.
