How was your weekend?  I worked outdoors in the yard with Mr. Cole a LOT.  I also had a couple of meetings and read a book.  I hope you had a chance to enjoy the sunshine!  Enki had fun watching the birds and the chipmunk who lives under our front steps.  We open the front door and he watches them through the screen.

Have a super day!  I can't wait to see what you accomplish today!
Love,
Mrs. Cole
