Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's going to be in the 90s again ... today is the record-breaker ... but at least only low 90s. :) It'll be mostly sunny and a little more humid. There's no rain ... and unseasonably warm ... for at least the next 7 days. OK, we've broken the record, could we get on with fall now? LOL!
I did get the plants watered last night. I moved them back to the porch (some still in the yard from cleaning), put the empty pots "away" (as away as I have anywhere for them), plus a good drink ... including the fish pond, since the pump isn't working.
I also got some more progress made on some paperwork, but very little esle. I did watch the AGT final, and was quite pleased that the young man won. The little girl is phenominal, but I just can't believe a Vegas show is the place for a 10 year old opera singer! I tend to agree with the judges though, the other acts will probably end up in Vegas too.
Tonight, I have no idea what's on, so maybe I'll get some work done for a change. I don't think any new shows start until next week. Then again, if I get home "tired and drained", I won't much care if it's reruns or not. Perhaps I'll just read! :)
