Good Morning! Saturday July 23, 2010

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's bright and clear, and the forecast is for 101 (knowing it may be a touch higher here), with heat indexes around 110. Yikes. Today we will not be going to "open air" flea markets! LOL! Some of those afternoon storms would be welcome, but I'm not looking for that to happen. We will be watering this evening. :)
I don't really know what we'll do today. It'll be sort of see what we feel like (or what it's not too hot to do). I don't have anything in particular planned; but if it ends up just too hot to go anywhere, maybe I'll get to work on my sewing project.
