Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's clear and bright, and will go to mid or upper 60s today. It'll be a lovely day for trying to get some gardening in, although it will be very windy. The weather will change again in a day or two, so we'd best get done what we can!
Yesterday: It turned into a surprisingly busy day. After the visitng nurse left, we got a call from the (local) doctor's office wanting DH to come in as soon as we could get there. That went surprisingly fast, he got treatment for a problem, and we were home again by soon after noon. Not long after lunch, some men came by to pick up the borrowed tiller, and also for me to describe a porch to build (they will give me an estimate). As they were leaving, the therapist got here. While he was here, I got some chicken cooked for dinner later. Then I made one more run back to town, to mail off a package. Last night I actually managed to get a few cleaning jobs done, but not much on the sewing.
Today: It's a dialysis day, so a busy morning trying to do what's needed before leaving the house. This afternoon, while the sun is out, I hope to help my gardner finish getting the garden plot ready for the next step (several days of rain, although it was welcome, slowed us down!). Hopefully tonight I'll get to the sewing project.
Today is "International Children's Book Day" ... "National Love Our Children Day" ... "Reconciliation Day" ... "Tangible Karma Day" ... "UN World Autism Awareness Day" ... "Pascua Florida Day (Florida)"..
