Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's a little misty, but bright; and the forecast is for partly cloudy and low 90s. We have a small chance of showers, but mostly it's going to dry out for the next few days. The rain is always welcome; but now we need dry just long enough to cut grass and weed the gardens! :)
I still didn't get to the grocery store last night. We had company, and my friend came over to help me with some things. She brought me a heavy duty stapler so I can work on the chairs (finished another one!). I did get a bit more decluttering and organizing done.
Today is a vacation day, and it's going to be busy. I have errands to run this morning, an appointment at 1:00, and then the grocery shopping. Later I plan to do some baking, work on chair seats, and more cleaning. Busy, busy! LOL!
