Cloudy, drizzle, rain, and fog all day. Temperatures never made it out of the upper 50’s. Another inch in the rain gauge to add to the couple of inches we had over the weekend.

A funny day at the store. Hardly any customers all morning and the few that came in only looked around. So by 2 pm it was zero in sales. Then we starting getting customers late afternoon and before you know it we had almost $100.00 in sales in about an hour and a half.

I spent the morning getting the store straightened up from the big sale last weekend. Then I worked on pulling stuff from the back to restock shelves.

Warm and humid with highs in the upper 70’s and partly cloudy skies this morning.

Went to the gym then came home and did a few gardening chores. After lunch went to Donna’s to craft. Around 2 pm we had a pretty bad thunderstorm with pea size hail, lots of wind, and torrential rains. Last about an hour and dropped the temperature about ten degrees.

Mostly sunny and warm with highs in the mid 70’s and breezy.

A busy two days at the store. It was whole store half price sale both days. Yesterday we did close to a thousand dollars. Today was both the Heritage Festival and the Agricultural Fair. We did just almost six hundred today.

Frances and Al came up mid morning. They walked around the festival until we closed the store. We then went to The Pines for dinner than home.

A slow day with customers at the store but a busy day for me. I worked on emptying boxed in the back and sorting stuff to where it belonged i.e., recycle, dump, in the store to sell, or the free shelf. Got a lot done but there is a lot more to be sorted through.

Sunny and warm with highs in the low 80’s and breezy.

I left at 6:30 this morning to go down the mountain for a doctor appointment. It was a down and back trip getting home around 11. After I ate some lunch I loaded up the recycling to drop off on the way in to town for my Friends of the Library meeting.

From there I went on to Donna’s to craft. While I was there I helped her with a couple of things. A couple of the female deer came up while she was feeding the chickens. They came to within maybe 15 to 20 feet of me just standing there watching me. Such beautiful creatures.

Off and on clouds and sunshine today with highs in the upper 70’s. We had a brief shower in town but did not amount to much. May get some more showers tonight and into tomorrow.

A slow couple of days in town. We did okay yesterday and little better today but still traffic was slow with a few spurts of activity. We at least made over $100.00 today and almost that much yesterday.

A good day at the store. Off and on busy with customers and a couple of small donations to work on. We did make over $100.00 so sales continue to be good.

Mostly cloudy and cool all day with highs in the low 70’s and a breeze. We had off and on showers yesterday and last night but not much in the way of accumulation.

Had a brief shower on the way to the gym this morning. I had a few things to do outside when I got back home but it was too wet so I just watered the hanging baskets.

Crafting this afternoon at Donna’s,

Sunny, warm, and breezy this morning. Early this afternoon we had a storm blow through dropping the temperatures down to the from the upper 80’s to the upper 70’s. Then the sun came back out and warmed things back up into the 80’s but it stayed breezy with low humidity and blue skies.

Today was half price paperback sale and the last Music on Main. We were slammed all day with very little breaks in the action. We stayed open until 7:30 and had made almost $600.00 when all was said and done. It was slow the early part of the week but yesterday the coffee shop opened back up and we did over $100.00. A good weekend.

Sunny and warm today with highs in the upper 80’s to low 90’s and a breeze. It’s 100 plus down the mountain and humid so we are very lucky.

Not much traffic in town today. Guess it was too hot to walk around and the coffee shop that we beside the burned buildings has not opened up yet. They are waiting on the inspectors. Hopefully they will get back open soon. They bring a lot of foot traffic to our end of the block.

So, a slow day at the store. Had a few sales and couple of small donations. Otherwise, worked on organizing shelves, etc.
