Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's overcast right now, but that should clear during the morning (unfortunately, it means only a very small chance of any showers), and by afternoon it will be mostly sunny, mid 90s, and humid. I sure am glad I ran the sprinklers last night! I think I'll be doing a lot of that, as the forecast is for yet another string of days in the 90s with only small chances of afternoon showers or storms. It's a bit hotter than "usual", but still normal NC spring/summer weather.
Last night I dredged up a spurt of energy (and will probably crash tonight! LOL!). I stopped for groceries on the way home, and got them put away. As I said, I ran the sprinklers (which involved hooking up hoses that had been unhooked for grass cutting); I ran them in 3 areas that I think got nearly everything (and this morning I will water what got missed last night). I I cooked some squash a friend at work gave me (silly Jimmy doesn't eat it!); and I got the rest of the odds and ends on the stairs taken upstairs. And I located a string of red lights to put on my summer "patriotic" tree! :)
Tonight I have one small plant to repot, and it's time to catch up laundry again.
