Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's supposed to be over 100 again today, and early this morning it was already very muggy out. Yesterday we *finally* got some rain (real rain, not just a passing sprinkle). It cooled things down at least 20 degrees, but right back up today. Another afternoon storm would not be so bad here, but I do hope there are no more of the damaging storms other people had!
Yesterday: I actually had a pretty busy day, and got nearly everything done I had hoped. I got to the farmer's market (corn is harder to come by now, because it's been so dry); I got caught up on my class work; and all the little decluttering chores around the house got done. The rain that brought the temps down made the evening nice even though still a bit steamy.
Today: I really hope today I'll get work done on my room project. It keeps getting put off for other things, but I really don't think anything else should be happening today. :) Gardening is sadly overdue, but that simply will not happen in triple digits heat.
Today is "Anne Hutchinson Memorial Day" ... "Cousin's Day" ... "National Drive-Thru Day" ... "National Tell An Old Joke Day" ... "Parents' Day" ... "Pioneer Day" ... "National Day of the Cowboy".
