Thinking of You

 We have had a bit of a mixed weather day today.  It has been sunny at times and overcast at other times.  I hung out my washing and got it mostly dry which was surprising given that it wasn't that warm outside for much of the day.  There must have been just enough breeze to help dry everything.  

I also finished off a couple of cards that were almost finished.  I am sharing one tonight, but I will wait until tomorrow for the other one.  My energy levels are flagging a bit and the other one can wait to be shared.
