Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's pale and clear, with just a touch of early mist still there. The forecast for today is upper 80s, mostly clear, and with only a slight chance of afternoon storms. The weekend was a lovely little touch of fall, but summer is coming back .. by tomorrow back in the 90s. Yes, that's August in NC ... but I think we've already had our share of them! LOL! And, after all that lovely rain Saturday night, by tonight things will be all dry and gasping again. Back to the sprinklers. :)
Yesterday I did not get much of my sewing project done, but at least a little bit. I did finish up the laundry, all but putting away part of the last load. I did more spot-cleaning and organizing. We went to a friend's son's birthday party, and had a lot of fun visiting.
Today, of course, it's back to work. I have 16 more Mondays to work ... doesn't sound so bad that way! :)
