Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's clear and bright, and just a touch breezy. It will be upper 80s, with low humidity, so it will still be a lovely day to be outside. The 90s are on the way back; but we get this holiday first! :)
Yesterday was a pretty lazy day. I got laundry caught up; and I managed to drag some of my fall decorations out of the "attic". I worked on sorting some paperwork, sewed a little bit ... and that's about all. Oh, and most of the things outside got watered!
Today I will try to make up for what hasn't been done yet. I should be cleaning the porch and doors; I don't know what will get done. I have to get myself back in a "mind-set" to go back to work tomorrow. Three long weekends in a row has really spoiled me! LOL!
Today is "Labor Day (US)" ... "Labor Day (Canada)" ... "Unification Day (Bulgaria)" ... "Defense of Pakistan Day (Pakistan)" ... "Independence Day (Swaziland)".
