Good morning! It's a wonderful morning! So far it's misty and cool, though of course it will get hot (close to 100 again) later. There were only a few storms yesterday, none around me at all. They're saying there's a much better chance of storms again today. I don't know if I'm remembering the drought so recently or not, but it seems to be such a wet summer ... and yet ... we always need rain!
I didn't get much sewing or cutting done; but I did do a lot of work on updating my notebook. Now that my lists and schedules are organized ... I just need to do the things on them! LOL!
I watched AGT last night, the first 12 "eliminations". I was disappointed in most of them, but a few stood out; and I didn't necessarily agree with the judges. It will be interesting to see how this works out. So far I haven't seen anyone that jumps out the way Eli did last year. But, maybe there's still someone I haven't seen yet. :)
Today is "Lunar Eclipse" ... "Sturgeon Moon" ... "Homeland Thanksgiving Day (Croatia)" ... "Republic Day (Burkina Faso)".
