YOUR MORNING DISCUSSION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good morning folks, the Nutshell is going to cover our weather for this report, as there isn’t much to discuss other than we’ve got a system coming through tonight with liight to moderate rainfall ending early tomorrow, followed by a pair of warmer days with increasing sunshine, and an intermittently rainy periood Wednesday through Saturday.

It won’t be raining all the time mid to late week and into next weekend, but for now, Wednesday afternoon and again Thursday night into Friday looks to be at least two showery periods that will wet the ground and cloud the skies on and over our hills and dales.

I hope you have a lovely day, read a good book, and putter around thee home, assuming you have the day off.

Have a great day!

>>> BE KIND <<<
“Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you’ve got a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies: Goddamn it, you’ve got to be kind.”
–Kurt Vonnegut
