Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's misty out, and may not "burn off" this morning. Today will be cloudy, high 80s (may not even get to 90! Wow!), and a good chance of showers by this afternoon.
Last night we went out after I got home from work, to eat and then run some errands. I didn't get everything on my list ... we got too tired! LOL! No, I didn't get *that* much. It was just late and still pretty warm. We did go over to Lowes to check out spillways ... but if we go that route, we'll have to build our own. They're very pretty (would look so nice in the pond), but too expensive. And I am just smitten with a bubbler that has little lights that make it look like the bubbling top has a fire inside!
This morning I'm going to try to finish my errands, and then hopefully get some laundry, cleaning and projects done around the house. With it a touch cooler, I should be able to get a lot done ... if I can stay away from the computer! :)
