Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. At least, it will be when the fog burns off! What a surprise to see that. But later today, it will be low to mid 90s, only partly cloudy but humid. The chances of rain aren't very good, but they say later in the week it's coming. I tried to set up the sprinkler last night, and found out the hose had been damaged. Then I couldn't connect to the shorter hose. So, I will get out with the hose this morning; and buy new hose on payday! LOL!
I had a totally lazy day yesterday. We went out in the late afternoon for some supplies for a small project and a bite to eat at Wendy's. When we came home, I went next door and brought home my new kitten. She's a pretty little calico, her name is Maggie ... and right now she's shut in the kitchen crying pitifully! (this house is too big to let her roam all of it yet). I would love to bring home one of her sisters to keep her company; but I think Jimmy might have something to say about that! LOL! Oh well, she'll be fine.
Tonight I start working on the "small project". I needed something else, right? :)
