Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. I believe they could just rubber stamp the forecast these days ... mid to upper 90s, partly cloudy, chance of afternoon storms. According to the local "weather guru", this is officially the hottest June on record since WWII. Hopefully tomorrow will break the streak, but today will be hot again.
Last night I found one of those unusual doses of energy (for a change! LOL!). I got one more chair downstairs and uncovered. I finished the small (red-white-blue table runner) project. I even read several chapters in a book. Wow. If I could do that every night, it would be great. But, probably won't! LOL!
Tonight I'm aiming for another round of watering if it doesn't rain; one more chair done (note: "done" only means the seats uncovered ... they still need to be cleaned good, some need to be reinforced); and pull out an overdue sewing project to get back to work on.
I wonder if there's anything on TV to sew along to? Maybe more AGT silliness? :)
Today is "Feast of Tammuz (Jewish)" ... "Peter & Paul Day (Christian)" ... "Saint Peter's Day (Christian)" ... "Independence Day (Seychelles)".
