Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's bright and clear, with a mildly overcast feel that is quickly burning off. It's only going to upper 80s, maybe right around 90 today. With lower humidity (but still no rain), it will be a lovely nearly-summer day.
Yesterday: As is often the case, I got a bit over-ambitious in planning. I didn't get outside, so there are still things needing to be done in the gardens. Inside I completed several smallish projects around the house, tackled a few cleaning bits, and dealt with one very large decluttering project. I call it a successful day! LOL!
Today: I have the "usual" stuff to do, and finish cleaning after the massive decluttering. This afternoon we'll have to go out and deal with banking issues and pay the rent. If there's time later, since it'll be such a nice day, maybe I can get in a bit of the gardening. And hopefully I've gotten past my "block" and will work on the overdue quilt project tonight! :)
Today is "Anniversary - D-Day" ... "Dragon Boat Festival (China)" ... "Flag Day (Sweden)" ... "Memorial Day (Korea)".
