A New Week Has Begun

Yesterday it was 72 F degrees. I actually had to turn on the A/C in the car. Unbelievable for February. Daffodils are blooming everywhere. I’m very much afraid, though, that it’s going to turn cold again and ruin the fruit production. Fruit trees are beginning to bud out.
It’s supposed to be warm most of this week. I haven’t checked the forecast yet this morning. The sky is blue though. It’s 8:30 AM. I have a full schedule for this week, but I’m hoping to spend some time on mylot, catching up again. I haven’t been here much the past two weeks. Just too busy with other things.
I’m hoping that I can get some friends together to play SPADES this week. We haven’t done that in a while. Some other friends have been wanting to come over and sing karaoke. I have a karaoke machine and lots of CDs. We haven’t done that in a few months now.
I’m still trying to get more people to listen to me singing on YOUTUBE. So if you haven’t done that yet, I would appreciate it if you would help me get more views. It’s just me singing one song and it’s not perfect. It’s not a video. I have a bet with my oldest son that I can get 300 views by the end of March. I already have about 250 so far. Thanks.

I envy your warm weather. It continues being cold, gloomy and rainy here in Southern California.

It's going up into the 70s again today. I'm headed out to the Post Office and the Thrift Store while it's warm.

@JohnRoberts Yes, the Post Office was closed today, but I could still check my Post Office box in the lobby, which is open, and I can drop my mail in the slot and purchase stamps in the lobby, which I did, all of the above.
The bank was also closed but I used the ATM to withdraw some money for the week. The Thrift Store and the Goodwill were both open though. The gas station was closed. Not because of the holiday but because the grocery store that managed the gas station closed at the end of January.
I don't like holidays when I want to get some errands done. It's very inconvenient.

@IreneVincent Isn't the post office closed for President's Day?

I love to play Spades and many other card games. Just can't find anyone to play Bridge or Set-back.

@IreneVincent I don't know how to play Bridge and never heard of Set-back.

I love daffodils! I am just thinking it is so pure in love that says it complete me.
