Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. There's more mist this morning, but also hard shadows. It's still hot here, today will be upper 90s; maybe even triple digits where I am. At least the humidity is still low. It appears we'll continue in our record-breaking string of days in the 90s for at least this week.
Last night I did very little (needed to unwind after a very stressful day at work); but I did sew some! Yay! Perhaps I'll also sew tonight - if I can stay awake. Has anyone ever tried crate-training a cat? LOL!!
