Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! It is again, so comfortably cool out, with just a touch of breeze. Today should be mostly clear and bright, a little warmer (upper 80s); but also more humid, though no mention of rain again.
Yesterday: I had a busy day, though a lot of it was running around taking care of errands. I made it to the local farmer's market ... they had fresh corn this week. Yay! I did a few other errands, then came home and actually made a lot of progress on my "project room". When I went back again to pick up DH from dialysis, I went and picked up a refill. Last night I got some laundry finished, and even a tiny bit of decluttering.
Today: I got a lot of cleaning done early, and hope to finish the room this afternoon so I can start on another. Gardening will get done today, since the excessive heat is coming back quickly. I keep up with the watering every day, but when it's hotter I move the sprinkler more often to make sure everything gets a good soaking as early as possible. :)
Today is "National Ice Cream Day" ... "Wrong Way Corrigan Day" ... "Anniversary - Disneyland Opening" ... "Constitution Day (South Korea)".
