Good Morning! Friday October 9, 2009

Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. The days are getting noticably shorter now, and the sun isn't over the trees yet; but the sky is a glorious gold. Today will be summery, with highs near 90, partly cloudy, windy, and humid. Very strange ups and downs, and yet, not so unusual for an NC fall.
I got laundry done last night, and some hand sewing. That takes longer, but I got a small project completely pinned and at least began the sewing. I may have to change my mind and machine sew it! LOL! I also worked on a small craft project. I'm at a stopping point on that until I remember to go get some pliers to open the stuck glue. :)
Tonight I plan (and you know how my "planning" goes! LOL!) to clean up some "hot spots", and work on the big project. Or not. :)

Today is "Leif Erikson Day" ... "UN World Post Day" ... "Alphabet Day (Korea)" ... "Day of National Honor (Peru)" ... "Leif Erikson Day (Iceland)" ... "Independence Day (Uganda)".
