Good morning! It's a wonderful morning! Right now it's pale and sparkly out, though later it will partly cloudy, and around or just over 100! And, heat index reaching 105 or more. Yikes! But the good news (for me) is that the storms that moved across the state during the night did NOT miss me for a change! Wow, did it rain (and thunder and lightening ... in the wee hours of the morning). This morning everything is fresh and clean and soaked ... a good beginning for a very hot day. There's the usual possibility of afternoon storms.
Last night I did a little better. I had some sheets and towels to be folded and put away, and that's done. And, I have finished all that I can do so far on the sewing project. I don't have enough blocks done yet, but I can start sewing on what I have. Yay! Tonight, however, other things need to get done. I will have to go by Wally World for some things Jimmy didn't get yesterday. That gets the evening off to a late start; and I have a chair to de-construct. And, I'm sure, there'll be other things I've forgotten. :)
