Good Morning! Tuesday June 1, 2010

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. I can't believe it's JUNE already! Today will be mid 80s, mostly cloudy, and maybe more afternoon storms. I do hope so, the rain helps compensate (my garden) for all this heat. It may only be in my mind, but it seems spring has been unusually hot this year. But then, nothing has been "normal" this spring!
I didn't get everything done yesterday I hoped, but I did get a lot of it. I delivered a few things to my sister; did some shopping (searching for the "perfect" container to make a bigger filter for the fish pond - and found it!). The last bookshelves are in the house (not risking weather on the porch), although far from "in place". I did make a lot of progress on emptying areas that have to be moved around. Hopefully each evening I'll get more done, now that "the good shows" are done! LOL!

Today is "National Go Barefoot Day" ... "Say Something Nice Day" ... "Anniversary - CNN" ... "Anniversary - Heimlich Maneuver" ... "Admission Day (Kentucky)" ... "Admission Day (Tennessee)" ... "Independence Day (Samoa)" ... "International Children's Day (China)".
