Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's overcast, even dark in places, which is at least a hopeful sign of rain. Today will "only" be around 90, mostly cloudy, and a good chance of afternoon storms (even though it looks a lot like it could start now!). Of course, everything got watered yesterday. :) But, as hot as it's been, it would be hard to get "too much" water.
Last night I finally got another step done on the chairs I've been working on. All the components are assembled; now I just sit and staple ... not nearly as easy as it sounds! LOL! I started, but the gun ran out. I have more, but don't want to open yet (I think I was overcharged for them!). I also finished putting up the laundry from the night before; but that's about all.
Tonight I will work on the chairs; and probably not much else.
Today is "Bad Poetry Day" ... "Anniversary - Birth Control Pills" ... "Anniversary - Mail-Order Catalogs".
