Good morning, Tupelo and beyond! Today is March 11th and it’s the 71st day of the year 2020. It’s Wednesday, here’s your quote of the day to get you over the midweek hump.

“Don’t start your day with thinking about the past, the present is here, and the future is waiting.”

Audrey Hepburn

We’re now on day 3 of Spring Break week and just 8 days away from the first actual day of Spring. Thanks to yesterday’s wee morning hour rains and the showers and thunderstorms predicted for later today, allergy sufferers can quite literally breathe a little easier as the pollen count drops from 6.4 to a medium 5.8. Brace yourselves, though. Tomorrow’s pollen count is expected to be significantly higher.
