Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. The early morning mist has started burning off, and it's going to be mid to upper 80s, suuny, and low humidity. This is how fall should be! Well, except we sure could use some rain! :) I watered yesterday, but might again tonight.
Yesterday was fairly busy. I didn't do everything I meant to (do I ever?), but I got a lot done. I washed all the windows I could reach outside; baked a cake for a neighbor's birthday; got all the laundry completely caught up; and some general cleaning. Gee, think what I could have done if I was young and energetic! LOL!
Tonight I have to run errands, so by the time I get home I probably won't actually get anything done. Maybe I'll work on a plan for the rest of the week!! :)
Today is "National Boss/Employee Exchange Day" ... "National Celiac Awareness Day" ... "Anniversary - Star-Spangled Banner" ... "Birthday - Scooby Doo".
