Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's still hot, and getting hotter .... upper 90s today, heat index will probably reach 100. Yikes! And it's still clear and sunny, with only that tiny chance of showers. So, more watering! Everything seems to be doing well in spite of the unusual heat. My little pond garden is practically a jungle, with so many pretty things blooming!
Last night I managed to get some sewing related projects worked on (including an overdue cutting project!). Tonight I hope I will finish pinning a table runner and get it stitched. I think I need to "prime the pump" to get back to sewing! LOL!
Today is "National Columnist's Day" ... "Stupid Guy Thing Day" ... "Antifascist Struggle Day (Croatia)".

-- Don Juan Manuel
