Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! The forecast for today is "cooler" (mid 70s!), breezy, and partly cloudy. The "partly" part isn't here yet, and it's clear and bright out my window. We didn't get the rain we hoped for yesterday, although north of me they had some pretty severe storms.
A lot got done yesterday, even if not "everything". It's ok, I'll get done eventually! LOL! The azaleas are planted; and also we planted a foxglove, a "mint garden" (chocolate mint and peppermint); an upsidedown cherry tomato; and at least one other thing I've forgotten the name of. :) I fit in a quick "side trip" to my sister's house to exchange some picture CDs with my brother-in-law; and we had a nice long visit with our seldom-home neighbor. The cabinets didn't get finished ... but I'll get them done I think. :)
For today, it's back to routine; and tonight, I can enjoy watching Dancing again! :)
