Sunny and warm today with highs in the mid 50’s. A break from the last few days of cold and snow. Tomorrow is another story. We will be down into the single digits.

Finally, a good day at the store after a very slow week. Lots of customers and we did make over $100.00,

Temperatures actually warmed up over night by morning we were in the low 40’s. We had some sunshine this afternoon to melt off some of the snow but clouds have rolled back in. Tonight is to go back down into the upper 20’s with rain/snow showers and winds in the 35 mph range.

We were not very busy with customers but Joyce and I worked on stocking shelves and organzing shelves. We did have a few sales and and one nice donation to work on.

Snow started falling sometime early this morning. Temperatures are hovering around the freezing mark right now but are going to fall as the day goes on. It is still snowing lightly but will taper off later on.

I have roughly 3 inches here. It’s a wet snow and beautiful sticking to trees and bushes making everything a winter wonderland. My lawn guy called me this morning.  He is coming over later this afternoon to scrape my driveway and sidewalk so I can get to the bird feeders and get out tomorrow. Sparta does a great job of clearing and salting the roads.

We had about half an inch or so of snow Thursday night into yesterday morning. The rest of the day was cold and windy with highs in the low 30’s.

The roads were just wet by the time I had to leave for the store. Pat decided not to come in but as expected we were not very busy. We did not go out for our usual Friday night at the Cellar. We did have some sales and a few browsers.

Today was very busy and we did well over $100.00. Donna is picking me up to go out for dinner tonight.

Sunny with a cold start to the morning with a low of 28. It did warm up into the mid 40’s by this afternoon and is not as windy.

A very slow day at the store. But, there is always something to do. I helped Joyce finished decorating the store for Christmas and processed some books. When I got home I changed out all the garden flags out from fall to winter.

Sunny and chilly with highs in the mid 30’s and breezy. Clouds are starting to move in this evening bringing some kind of winter weather tonight and tomorrow morning.

I went to the gym this morning. This afternoon we had our Friends of the Library Christmas party. After I finished up there I stopped by Donna’s for short visit with the crafting folks and to go in to see the dogs.

Howling winds and rain showers with highs in the low to mid 30’s.

We spent yesterday hanging around the house watching football and Christmas movies. Dinner last night was at Muddy Creek which is always good.

Frances and Al left this morning around 8:45 to beat the traffic and any possible rain turning into some freezing stuff.

I will be doing my usual house cleaning and laundry chores.

We had a nice Thanksgiving Day. I worked on decorating the Christmas tree between watching the parade and football. Frances and Al did the same in between fixing lunch and cooking dinner. We had pork tenderloin, sweet potatoes, and green beans.

It has been sunny but cold and windy with lows last night down low 20’s and today will be in the 30’s. I have almost finished decorating the tree. Then I will be finished with the decorations.

Frances is fixing chili for dinner and we have plenty of leftovers for lunch.

I had a doctor appointment at 9:30 then back home to eat a late bowl of cereal. Yesterday cleared off all the table tops, etc. and pulled our the Christmas decorations. I finished doing the village and a few other odds and ends yesterday. This morning I worked on that some more then fixed a salad for lunch before going over to Donna’s for crafting.
