Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's clear and bright, no fog or clouds this morning. Today will be mid 60s and sunny. Later today we'll be heading 3 hours north, so possibly a bit cooler; but still a perfect fall day.
Yesterday: It was a gorgeous day, and we were in and out all day. I didn't get as much housework done as I hoped, but some; and some yard work got done. My plants are pretty much sorted, and all but a couple of hardier ones have been brought in for the winter. The jacket didn't get hemmed, but I have a needle and thread ready to pack. :)
Today: This will be a busy morning, finishing packing and what ever last minute stuff I think up to do. We'll be leaving around noon, heading for Virginia for the weekend. I am so looking forward to being with family for such a happy gathering (niece's wedding)!
The kitten thinks the plants are a new toy for her, so she's still confined to the kitchen. Actually, it's a kitchen-den, and she has plenty of room to run, and everything she needs. She loves to perch on the top of the back of my chair and survey her kingdom! LOL!
Today is "Hunter's Moon" ... "Anniversary - World's End Day".

"Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't turn up at all."
