Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. There's an early morning mist that hasn't quite finished disapating, making everything in the "way back" of the yard look like it's through a sheer veil. It's eerie and pretty. Today will be warmer again, mid 80s, and probably mostly sunny. Back to watering for sure! This weekend I really need to finish getting things planted. My bosses gave me 2 new plants yesterday ... one is a wonderful gardenia, which needs to be planted. (the other is a miniature rose, which will stay in a pot for awhile). And, lots of other things still waiting.
Last night I did get some of the decluttering done. I managed to take several trips upstairs. Soon, I'm going to have to re-organize that upstairs room! LOL! Tonight I hope to tackle just a bit more clutter, and start getting laundry caught up again.
Today is ""I Need a Patch for That" Day" ... "International Virtual Assistants Day" ... "National Bike to Work Day" ... "National Defense Transportation Day" ... "National Waitstaff Day" ... "UN Work Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogged and Development" ... "Anniversary - American Red Cross" ... "Teacher's Day (Fla)".
Quotes of the Day:
"All is in the hands of man. Therefore wash them often."
