Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. The sky gold over the trees, fading into clear blue ... a perfect fall day. It will be low 70s, mostly sunny, and windy. Yesterday morning we got lovely rain; the outside things are beginning to show signs of winter. It will soon (too early this year) be time to move the containers inside.
Yesterday: I did better last night, at least I got laundry done. And, I did manage to clean a few areas, so every little bit counts.
Today: Tonight I have a quick errand to run, and then will get organized for Saturday. Hopefully I will get sewing done too.
Kitten: She's napping somewhere; but soon she will come out of hiding and leap at me when I walk by - her favorite "trick"! LOL!
Sewing: Well, still plugging along, but too slow. Last night I also ripped out the seam that needs to be adjusted in DH's suit. I sure should have started that project sooner. Oh well, I'll get done.
Reading: No time last night ... plus a good TV night. :)
Today is "National Boss Day" ... "National Mammography Day" ... "UN International Day Of Rural Women" ... "White Cane Safety Day" ... "Wishbones for Pets (10/15-11/30)".
