Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's bright and clear, no morning mist today. It'll be upper 90s, maybe even hit 3 digits by this afternoon; and almost no chance of rain. We did get another shower last night, so everything is ok for now ... but will probably need watering again by this evening.
Last night was a pretty good night. I got another step done on the "small project"; had a lovely conversation with one of my nieces (and looking forward to a visit!); and got more of my upcoming fall-into-Christmas scheduling done. I also watched some new shows on TBS ... a station I rarely think to check ... which I enjoyed.
Tonight I plan to get the next step done (all will be revealed eventually, I promise! LOL!), and some work on a sewing project.
Today is "Moon Day (Man's First Lunar Landing)" ... "Special Olympics Day" ... "Independence Day (Colombia)" ... "Marine Day (Japan)".
Quotes of the Day:
"We have all a better guide in ourselves, if we would attend to it, than any other person can be."
-- Jane Austen
