Howdy, luvie.

Have another nice day down there?

I woke up to sunshine again and an unexpected high of 72.
Now it looks like I have a good shot at decent rain tonight. Out of nowhere, rain blew up to the SW while I was out running a couple errands. It’s almost here and lookin’ good!

[radu]

Howdy, Allegra!

Everything going well down your way?

Glad you enjoy the tunes.
