Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. There's no mist this morning, but it does seem faintly overcast. The forecast is for mostly sunny, and around 89. It wouldn't take much to reach the "90" mark, which is forecast for the next 4 days at least. We're easily setting a lot of new records. Someone told me they had seen signs that predicted a cold winter. I will wait and see. :)
There's a very very slight chance of rain today ... which means, of course, I need to water tonight.
Last night I found a tiny little burst of energy, and cleaned a ceiling fan, and put up a load of towels. And ... I put a bit of time in on the sewing machine! Yay! New shows started, so I was happy. The new season of DWTS (my favorite, right from the start, is Jennifer Grey); and I like the new Hawaii Tive-0.
Tonight I think the new season of NCIS starts ... so I'm thinking I'll probably miss each week's Dancing results show. Hopefully, this will mean I get more sewing done. And yes ... I need to "get a life"! LOL!
Today is "UN International Day of Peace" ... "UN Opening of General Assembly" ... "World Alzheimer's Day" ... "Independence Day (Armenia)" ... "Independence Day (Belize)" ... "Independence Day (Malta)".
