Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's starting out overcast, though the forecast is only for "partly cloudy". I guess that doesn't tell us which part! LOL! They're calling for 95, which means upper 90s for me. There's the ever present chance of afternoon storms; but it looks like we did get a bit of rain early this morning.
Yesterday: We tried to take advantage of it being not *quite* so hot. I took my friend to run some errands, and then we got out in the garden a bit. We also got to spend a little time watching the puppie's antics, though only from a distance. Even with the heat and missing a few days of watering, the garden is still producing amazing quantities, especially tomatoes.
Today: This will be a catch up day. I have a few odds and ends to catch up on, some "routine" cleaning, and hopefully get started (finally) on this week's project room. That all may depend on how my energy level holds out. :) Tonight we're going to a friend's son's birthday party. Maybe later it will just be a calm evening at home. :)
