Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! It's bright and clear, and already in the 70s. Today will be mostly sunny, low 90s but less humid than yesterday. They're saying no showers, but maybe rain this weekend. I think I'll just keep watering! :)
I didn't do anything I thought I would last night. At the "last minute" (just before getting off work), a friend called to remind me about a free concert in the town park. Well, free being the key word, we decided to go. Jimmy wasn't very enthusiastic (he actually sat in the car for 2 hours!), but he did like the idea of eating in town (and not having to cook! LOL!). It turned out that the band was very good. They played mostly beach music, with a lot of "oldies" (50s, 60s) and some contemporary thrown in. It was shady with a tiny bit of breeze in the grove, so not uncomfortable at all. Afterwards we went to Subway (not a lot open after 9:00 in a small town!!). It was a very nice evening "off", I'm glad we decided to go.
Tonight, I will try to make up for what I didn't get done last night! :)
Today is "Corn on the Cob Day" ... "King Kamehameha I Day (Hawaii)".
