Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. The usual morning mist is there; perhaps it's there most mornings, but daylight is coming later now so I see it more often. It will burn off quickly, as today will be low 90s and mostly sunny. It's very strange to know there's a huge hurricane hovering off shore, and not knowing what it will do; but it's lovely and clear and hot here and we won't feel much if anything from Earl.
It appears there's an end in sight (though temporary) to the 90 plus days. Some rain sure would be welcome though!
Last night I didn't do as much as I thought I should have (well, when do I ever? LOL!); but a bit of sewing, a bit of clearing hot-spots.
Hopefully tonight I'll have found some energy ... although, with a holiday weekend coming up ... maybe not! :)
Today is "Bison-Ten-Yell Day" ... "Calendar Adjustment Day" ... "V-J Day: ,,, "Independence Day (Vietnam)".
