Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. The "official" forecast for today is 89, but I expect we'll still be low 90s. It'll be mostly cloudy; we didn't get rain (again) yesterday, but there's a pretty good chance of it today.
Yesterday was fairly productive. I got a little bit of paperwork taken care of; my bathtub is caulked, and the shower curtain washed; the chair seat covers are cleaned; and I got a few quick errands done in town too. Of course, I had help! LOL! Today is back to work ... I've discovered I really like NOT working on Mondays! LOL! Tonight I will be getting back on the sewing ... I even cleared away junk on the sewing table that's been in the way. :)
Today is "Take Your Houseplants for a Walk Day" ... "Walk on Stilts Day".
