Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's still overcast; apparently we're in for several days of cloud cover, but only hit-or-miss showers. That's ok too, makes it seem cooler when working in the yard. Forecast for today is upper 70s, which should be fairly comfortable. I think we will go on and water, since the "hit-or-miss" variety of showers seem to mostly "miss"! :)
I didn't get much done last night, but did tackle a bit of clutter. This morning I've started off getting laundry going. I'm going to tackle a small bit of kitchen floor while I have the house "to myself" (he's sleeping! LOL!) Later I have errands to run, and things to plant. Late this afternoon we'll be going to visit son & family. He's getting ready to go to KS for a training trip and will be gone at least 30 and maybe up to 60 days. We're going to get a quick visit in first (and hopefully, he'll "fix" my ipod and my camera! LOL!!)
