Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. My window is full of gorgeous golden sunlight, although the forecast is for cloudy. It'll be low 80s today, and maybe rain by tonight. With record-setting pollan going on, as well as my garden (and TWO newly planted apple trees), rain would certainly be welcome. It's also going to be very windy by this afternoon - which will either blow the pollan away, or just swirl it in the air more!
Last night I got that second apple tree planted. That was not easy, as I kept running into roots from a long-dead tree. But, it's done. And I confess ... I got nothing else done! LOL! I did watch the results show ... oh my!! I was so shocked. And, in the end, relieved. Now I'm asking myself ... does it matter enough to start voting? I never have this early.
Tonight I'll need to stop by the grocery store, and then decide if I do laundry or wait for the weekend! :)
