Good morning! It's a lovely fall morning. I so enjoy this time of year - even with hot days, the nights are cooler. Early morning is quite pleasant. We get another above average day ... maybe low 90s ... and then back to "normal" ranges. Still no rain in sight.
I managed to be much more productive last night, even with watching the "final 10" on AGT. I made progress on a sewing project; I got laundry done (including put up); I even got the kitchen cleaned, thinking I'd have more morning time. Not! LOL!! I'm still running late.
Hopefully tonight I will be better organized ... always my ultimate goal. :)
