Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. After all the stormy weather of the past few days, the sun is out and the clouds have moved on. Today will be in the upper 70s, mostly clear, and breezy. This should be a lovely day for gardening.
Yesterday: As always, a dialysis and work day precludes getting a lot done. A few quick errands after work were all. Since finishing the last project, I simply enjoyed TV last night (happy that Scotty made it through again).
Today: I have a lot to try to do, and will really have to push myself. I admit ... I've been up for hours. Of course I watched The Wedding! LOL! (those of you who've known me that long will remember I've been an "anglophile" for years!) But now, on with the day. There's a lot of gardening to get caught up on, as well as the "usual" chores and decluttering. I hope I can stay awake! LOL!
Today is "National Arbor Day" ... "National Dream Hotline" ... "National Hairball Awareness Day" ... "Anniversary - Zipper Patent" ... "Cheng Cheng Kung Landing Day (Taiwan)" ... "Showa Day (Japan)".
