Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's not too hot out, and bright and clear. We never got any storms or rain yesterday; today is a smaller chance of afternoon showers. It'll still *only* be low 90s, maybe not quite as humid.
Yesterday: It was a very busy day, but in the end quite nice. The "normal" household stuff got done, and errands got done. A project got finished, a lot of produce was harvested, and we had company for dinner and the evening.
Today: I don't plan to leave the house today! :) We're going to work on finishing the current project room, now that I have a storage solution for some of it. Of course, there will always be dishes, laundry, and cleaning. Oh goody. LOL!
Today is "Clerihew Day" ... "Don't Step on a Bee Day" ... "Admission Day (Wyoming)" ... "Independence Day (Bahamas)".
