Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's actually quite pleasant out now, though it's going to warm up into mid 90s. I think it will be mostly sunny, though there is always that small chance of afternoon storms. Mostly, though, I'm planning on getting sprinklers going this evening. For now everything looks happy ... I want to keep them that way! :)
Last night was, as I expected, mostly lazy. I did work a bit on organizing some of my sewing supplies into more accessible drawers.
Today will be too hot for gardening, other than a few things that will get potted (or re-potted) late this afternoon. So it may as well be a fun day for prowling around flea markets and thrift shops ... we know all the ones that have a/c! LOL! I'll have to fit in some grocery shopping, finishing laundry, washing dishes ... you know, all that boring stuff that just doesn't go away! :)
Today is "Do-Dah Parade" ... "National Trails Day" ... "UN World Environment Day" ... "Anniversary - AIDS" ... "Constitution Day (Denmark)".
Quotes of the Day:
"Live in such a way that you would not be ashamed to sell your parrot to the town gossip."

A thought for the day
