Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's not as misty as the past few mornings have been, and it's going to be HOT today. The forecast is for 99, so around here it could easily go to triple digits; and will definately be over 100 heat index. It may be partly cloudy by afternoon, but very little chance of rain. I will need to water and run sprinklers tonight. I meant to last night, but ended up having company later than we expected (and enjoyed every minute of it!); and I'm running late so it won't get done this morning.
We had a lovely family visit last night, but I didn't get anything else done. The kids had a lot of fun playing with the kitten. They tired her out so much, she fell asleep in the early evening, and slept until 3 am ... when she decided I was a playground! LOL!
Tonight I will try to do laundry, and maybe get to work on the quilt project. I hope! :)
Today is "Ingersoll Day" ... "Saint Clare of Assisi Feast Day" ... "Independence Day (Chad)" ... "Heroes' Day (Zimbabwe)".
