Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It will be summer here today ... high into the 90s!! It started out a bit foggy, but is already bright; we may get some breeze by afternoon, which will be welcome. :) No rain in sight ... plants sure aren't used to needing watering in early April.
My class last night was cancelled again. I'm beginning to wonder if the course will be finished ... there are only 4 more lessons to go, but only 3 of us still going. I went to the grocery store instead. So last night I put up groceries; finished putting away laundry; and watched Dancing. I sure wish they would vote off Kate!!!! I won't find out right away, though, because tonight is Top 9 on AI. And, before that comes on, I need to go plant my apple trees! :)
Today is "Drowsy Drive Awareness Day" ... "Tartan Day" ... "Charki Day (Thailand)".
