Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! It's clear and bright, and will be mid dto upper 80s today. I think rain is a possibility by tomorrow; but of course, the forecast changes hourly, so who knows! :) Depending on the forecast by this evening, I may be watering.
Last night I did manage to get several loads of stuff put upstairs, and sort through a few small boxes of odds and ends. I'm trying very hard to not re-clutter areas I've already cleared - hard, because it's so tempting to want to just put something aside and deal with it later! LOL! I'm making progress, even though it's not "visible". Of course, it helps that there's currently nothing much on TV I want to watch! LOL!! So, tonight, hopefully, I'll get more stuff upstairs (seasonal things that keep turning up in odd places), and more boxes sorted.
Today is "Upsy Daisy Day" ... "World Ocean Day" ... "Anniversary - Bill of Rights".
