Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. Today will be low 80s, partly cloudy, low humidity .. why would anyone want to live anywhere else? LOL! Really, fall is so perfect here. I know we'll probably have a few more hotter days; but for the most part, summer is gone and fall is here. I love it! :)
Last night was more productive for me. I got a load of laundry done ... and put up (a biggie for me! LOL!); I finished the phase I was on for the one project, rethreaded the sewing machine, and got a start on another project. I also did a bit of straightening up, cleared away some "hot spots".
Tonight I hope to work more on the sewing project; start cutting fabric for the next phase of the just completed (phase) project; work on updating my emergency prep list; and get another load of laundry washed and put away. I'm gonna get all that done???? Yeah, right! LOL!! But, at least I have a list to work from, some of it will get done. :)
