Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It seems more like mid summer than late spring these days ... today will be near 90, mostly cloudy and humid. Once again, those afternoon showers or storms could pop up. Yesterday we heard rumbles of thunder off and on all day, and it rained a bit (could always use more).
I got nearly everything moved for one furniture moving project. I have to get legs off a table in order to move it ... and that's where I ran out of energy! LOL! Hopefully tonight I'll finish it, along with the never-ending laundry. Last night I had forgotten about the new season of Dancing (SYTYCD); and I also remembered why I rarely watch the audition segments! But, when that's all that's on, it's easy to go and get other things done ... no idea about tonight! :)
Today is "Chimborazo Day" ... "Corpus Christi (Christian)" ... "Anniversary - First Woman Rabbi in US" ... "Anniversary - Mighty Casey Has Struck Out" ... "Anniversary - Zoot Suit Riots".
