Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's going to be mid 90s again, mostly sunny, and only a very tiny chance of storms this afternoon. The storms that tend to "pop up" in this heat generally miss my house. I watered yesterday, but may do it again tonight. They're predicting upper 90s for the next 5 days at least. I wonder what happened to spring?? LOL!
Last night, besides watering, I contined on a paper search. I am now confident I do not have the papers I was searching for.That's a bit of a disappointment, because it makes things more difficult for someone else. But, I just simply never had the particular papers in question. So, today, on to other things.
I already have laundry going and the kitchen floor mopped (trying to avoid the hottest part of the day!); later, hot or not, I plan to clean out kitchen cabinets! I see signs of lurking mice .. eeewwwwww ... they have to go! :)
Today is " Emancipation Day" ... "Juneteenth" ... ""War is Hell" Day" ... "World Juggling Day" ... "World Sauntering Day".
