Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It was overcast earlier, but seems to be clearing and is nice and bright now. The forecast is for mostly cloudy and low 90s. We seem to be in a pattern of a lot of storms. There were quite a few last night, though as usual none at my house. There's a greater chance for late this afternoon - we'll see. I'm watering this morning anyway! :)
Yesterday: It was a fairly busy day, and we did good for it being so hot and humid. I got several small errands taken care of in town. At home, we harvested a big basket of tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, and beans. Wow!! A lot of tomatoes were put aside for canning, and I peeled and froze a bag full. I still have a lot on my table for eating! :) One more of the cabinets got put together - getting closer to my organization goal. In the evening I even managed a little bit of decluttering.
Today: It's a dialysis day, so it will involve a bit of coming and going, and fitting errands and projects in between. I also have hopes that my son and his family may come by today (possibly to help catch some wayward puppies that need homes!). I've done a quick bit of decluttering this morning, but altogether the house isn't *too* bad! LOL!
Today is "Bald In-Bald Out" ... "Martyrdom of the Bab (Baha'i)" ... "National Hop-A-Park Day" ... "Flag Day (Alaska)" ... "Independence Day (Argentina)" ... "Youth Day (Morocco)".
