Dropped off...it rained hard yesterday, but the moisture is clearing out and we’re getting hot again. Shouldn’t have any rain over the holiday weekend, but you never know!

Howdy-do, Early Birds!
How are y'all this fine morning?
It's hot here already..
...or maybe it's the humidity.
Whatever....my hot tea is not that great for it.
Oh, well...maybe it'll cool off soon.
Or not. LOL!
Then I can whine about being cold. :)
((((hugs))))
