Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. The little bit of mist this morning only seems to be near the ground ... giving the trees the odd effect of the trunks dissappearing into the mist, but the tops are dusted with gold. Today we'll be back in the mid 90s and sunny; but with lower humidity so it won't feel quite so hot.
Yesterday was one of the laziest days I've had in a really long time. It didn't take long to get dishes cleaned up and put away (large serving bowls and trays), or to get sheets and towels washed and dried. Beyond that ... I read, I watched TV, I napped! LOL!
Today it's back to work ... counting today, 11 more Mondays! :) Tonight I'll catch up "regular" laundry. Maybe. For sure I will do some sewing.
Today is "Burning Man 2010" ... "National Holistic Pet Day" ... "Huey P. Long Day (Louisiana)" ... "Saint Rose of Lima Day (Peru)" ... "Victory Day (Turkey)".
