Good morning! It's a wonderful morning! Today will be much cooler than the past month has been, low to mid 80s. Wow! And last night we finally got rain!! For a long time my yard looked like a swamp; but this morning the thirsty ground has soaked it all up. According to the forecast, today will be cloudy with a chance of more storms; and it won't get back to the 90s for 4 days! Lovely!!
I went by the grocery store on the way home, and barefly got groceries in before it started sprinkling. The heavy rain came later in the evening. I got the last 2 chairs down and uncovered, and I got one load of laundry done.
Tonight I hope to start tackling the chairs with some glue and screws, to get the frames more sturdy. And maybe this time I'll get to the next sewing project. :)
Today is "Leap Second Adjustment Time" ... "Anniversary - N.O.W." ... "Armed Forces Day (Guatemala)" ... "Independence Day (Congo)" ... "Revolution Day (Sudan)".
