Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! All the clouds have moved out, it's bright and clear ... and very cool! Today will only get to the low 60s. And tonight it will go down into the 30s! Wow, what a change ... better make sure all the plants that stay outside are protected. We've had a fair amount of rain lately, and lots of flowers are blooming today.
Yesterday: I got a bit more clearing done, and some laundry. I got a new desk chair out of the box ... but will wait for help assembling it. It may be a mistake ... if I'm actually comfortable sitting here (computer and sewing machine), I may never leave! LOL!
Today: Another vacation day ... I have quite a few to take before the end of the month! It's SO nice to sleep "late"! (7:00 is late if you're used to 6:00!!). Later on I'm picking up a friend and a niece, and we're going to the Farmer's Market. We sure have a perfect day for that! We may check out some other places since we're going all the way to "the big town"! :)
Today is "Frankenstein Friday" ... "Anniversary - Internet" ... "Anniversary - Stock Market Crash (1929)" ... "Republic Day (Turkey)".
