Good morning! Happy Friday!
It's 53 F this morning and partly cloudy headed for a high of 72 F. Chance of a few showers this afternoon. Hope it's all done by baseball tonight.
That's the weather from the ancient Blue Ridge of Virginia.
Be kind out there.

A learning moment at the #MarshallFoundationLibrary today!
Madame Chiang was heavily involved in the politics and leadership of China, but I didn't know she was privy to MAGIC.
Flicker, BTW, was a childhood nickname of Gen. George C. Marshall, and use of it shows the friendship.

#ThursdayThoughts
A busy few days in the #MarshallFoundationLibrary -- an international researcher, tours, presentations, other functions, & photographs. I've moved & reset a lot of library furniture. I'm exhausted.
It brings me great happiness, though, to see the library alive!

Good morning, @LlamaMountainStudioArts
My JackJack had a yelping nightmare that scared me half to death last night -- and I had been sleeping so good.
I think rescue dogs never lose the bad memories of before.
How are you doing today?

Good morning!
It's 65 F with a sunny high of 85 F today, continuing the very warm days.
Too warm so early.
That's the weather for the ancient VA Blue Ridge.
Be kind today.

Good morning! Some sideways sunflower-family beauty (because I refuse to crop). These black-eyed Susans are growing at Oak Ridge, TN. I do not think they are radioactive ...
Bringing you sunshine!

I have a floater sheet that blurs my vision and is so large it's permanent.
Irritating.

Good morning, @Mandypar!
Glad you got to vote.
Hope it's a good day.

Good Wednesday morning!
It's about 55 F this morning. High of 80 F, mostly cloudy with showers. Unsettled for the next few days.
That's the weather from the ancient VA Blue Ridge.
Choose a kind day.

Funny cloud.

I love a parade!

Whew.
One week.
Five functions in the library.
150 people.
Four furniture resets. Thankfully, my co-workers helped.
I'm tired.

Good morning, @Minholkin!
OK, they might not be sunflowers, but they are yellow and hopefully the butterfly makes up for it ...
bringing you beauty for all that you bring us.

@LlamaMountainStudioArts
that should say warm not farm ...

Good morning, @LlamaMountainStudioArts!
Another warm one here today, too farm for mid-April. I see folks starting to put in gardens ... oh, that's a mistake.
Respect the weather, right?

Yes, it's a beautiful view.
Yes, the garrison holiday flags are lovely.
Remember why the flags in VA are in mourning today.

Good morning!
It was 80 F at 9 p.m. last evening, crazy. It's 55 F now with a high of 80 F and possible storms this afternoon.
Way warm for April.
That's the ancient Blue Ridge of VA weather.
Be kind out there.

I have been missing most of the last week; I have had about 125 people in the library over five functions since last Monday. A lot of prep and furniture moving.
I am beat.
Hope to be back participating after I get some rest. I miss you all. Please continue to be kind.
