Good Morning! Thursday June 16, 2011

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. Today will be another lovely nearly-summer day. It will be low 80s, and more cloudy than not (somewhat "overcast" this morning so far, but with bright glimpses of sunshine), with isolated showers. Unfortunately, those kinds of showers rarely get to my house, but I still hope for rain.
Yesterday: I did not get as much done inside, but we did take advantage of a nicer day in the yard. All of the fruit trees are now in pots where they can grown nice strong root systems in the shade, instead of sturggling to get enough water to survive the heat. :) They are all looking nice and healthy, so I'm hopeful. I also got some weeding and planting done in the front garden. We had to go into town, briefly, but got by with only one quick excursion into the 2nd hand store. I did buy a set of salt & pepper ... but hey, they're cats! What can I say! LOL!
Today: It's yet again, dailysis and work day, so I don't plan much to get done. I'm still trying to decide if I need to water a bit before we leave (probably will). After work I have several small errands to run, then home for the evening. I didn't work on sewing last night, but hopefully will tonight.

Today is "National Nursing Assistants Day and Week" ... "Recess at Work Day" ... "Youth Day (South Africa)".
