Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. At the moment it's bright and clear, and comfortable. It will get warm again, low 90s, and maybe afternoon storms. Last night we (finally) had one of the showers move through. It wasn't much rain, but every little bit helps.
Yesterday I spent the afternoon at a friend's house with some of her other friends. They knitted and crocheted, and I worked on assembling more pieces of a quilt. It was a nice relaxing afternoon! I got home in time to take some trash to the dump; and then I finally got the dreaded grocery shopping done! :) During the evening I got a few more bits and pieces of decluttering done, but not really very much. Perhaps I'll make up for it today. The laundry is done, only a little bit of cleaning I need to get done. I have a cobbler in the oven. I think maybe this afternoon I'll start on a small (outdoor) project. Oh, and perhaps I'll get started on the chairs ... I have enough (borrowed) clamps to glue at least one! :)
