Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's bright out, but "milky" looking again. It's not quite overcast (and occasionally the sun gets bright coming through the window). They're calling for mid to upper 90s again, but with a stronger chance of afternoon storms. So far, all of any storms that happen have all been way north of me. We're still hoping for rain down in the southern piedmont of the state!
Yesterday: It was an extraordinarily long day. We left home about 8:00; DH had 4 separate appointments, the last of which was an IV treatment that took a bit longer than anticipated. It was after 6:00 when we left; but at least by then the worst of the traffic was gone! LOL! So last night was another "nothing got done" night.
Today: I'd like to think I'll make up for lost time today, but not sure if that will happen. I have fruit trees that still need to be planted, but it's going to be awfully hot for much outside, other than maybe some weeding. We very cleverly put the garden where it gets afternoon shade from a big tree. It's thriving .. and so are the weeds! LOL! I'd also like to get work done on my weekly project that I haven't been able to do all week. I'll just have to see how the day goes. :)
Today is "King Kamehameha I Day (Hawaii)" ... "Corn on the Cob Day"
