Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's easing up to hotter, mid to upper 90s today. It will also be mostly cloudy, with a chance of showers. I sure hope it's a good chance ... even with watering, everything is just so dry right now. Now that we're in August, the weather "seems" more normal summer in NC. But, it's still hot! LOL!
Last night I mostly worked on my sewing project. I am very nearly through with the boring part, and hopefully very soon can start actually sewing again. I'm going to try to finish that step tonight. Well, almost finish. Actually, I have a few more blocks that need to be "layered" and pinned, and then the boring part (tracing a pattern). And THEN I can start sewing it all together! :)
Today is "U.S. Coast Guard Day" ... "Revolution Day (Burkina Faso)".
