Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's bright and clear, and I believe will be a touch warmer than yesterday, mid 70s. There's still no rain in sight, but today a lot of plants will come inside, and all will get watered.
Yesterday: It was a long and busy day, and we had a great time! We stopped first at the Farmer's Market (and plan to go back in a few weeks when we have more time!), and then spent all day at the Fair. We got to see all the exhibits we wanted; did a little bit of Christmas shopping; and tried a few "odd" foods; but actually, not very much. We were SO tired by the time we got home! LOL!
Today: Tired or not, I have a list of things that need to get done. DH has to try on his suit so I can mark the hems; plants need to come in (nights getting too cool), and a few mums need homes in the garden; spot cleaning is always needed.
Kitten: She is once again shut in the kitchen because she refuses to accept that my sewing table is NOT an appropriate place for her! LOL!
Sewing: Hopefully I'll do that tonight while watching TV, if I stay awake.
Reading: Probably won't get to that again today. Then again, I just got a new book (free swap in the mail! Gotta love it!), a Clinton Kelly book about how to be fabulous. Hmmm .... may have to find a minute or two for that! LOL!
Today is "Mulligan Day" ... "UN International Day For The Eradication of Poverty".
