Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's gray and mistly looking now, but that will burn off quickly. We'll have yet another hot day ... upper 90s ... and mostly sunny. Which, naturally, means no rain again. I will have to find time to water tonight!
Last night was crazy around here. I had to go by the grocery store, then when I got home a neighbor and my friend were here. The neighbor cut the grass (had to borrow our mower, so cut both); and my friend finished gluing the chairs. Yay! After things calmed down a bit, the kids played games and read their books while we fixed supper. They were so would up that my (9 y/o) grandson fell asleep on the floor! LOL!
I don't know what they have planned for today, but I'm sure they'll manage to be tired by the time their parents get here tonight.
I suspect the only thing I'll get done tonight is laundry. :)
Today is "Perigean Spring Tides" ... "Anniversary - Smithsonian Institution" ... "Admission Day (Missouri)" ... "Independence Day (Ecuador)".
