Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. The sun is not quite up yet, and the sky above the tree line is beautiful, all orange and red and yellow and purple. Today will be sunny and warm again, around 80 ... which is very nice. It's still on the dry side, so tonight I will probably need to water again. I still think they might come in earlier this year; but then again, we could end up with a lovely long fall. (wishful thinking? LOL!).
Last night I didn't find the energy I was hoping for; but I did stop for groceries on the way home, and I got a load of laundry done. Oh, and I worked on some paperwork. That stuff is like laundry, it just never ends!
Tonight is a good TV night again. I'm hoping to get the rest of the laundry caught up, and get some sewing done. I'm ready to start a new project, but need to finish the one (several?) I already have going! :)
Today is "National Frappe Day".
