Partly cloudy and breezy today with temperatures in the low 40’s and 15 mph winds. We go back down into the upper 20’s tonight so back to colder temperatures again.

I went to the gym this morning. This afternoon I had a dentist appointment for my six month checkup. Otherwise, not much else going on.

Warm and sunny today with highs in the upper 60’s and a light breeze.

An off and on day at the store. Despite not a lot of traffic we still made over $100.00. A small donation came in just as we were closing up. I will sort that one on Wednesday.

I am meeting Wendy and her husband at Muddy Creek for dinner. They have Celtic music tonight in honor of St. Pat’s Day. I will not be eating corned beef and cabbage!

Clouds and drizzle most of the day with a brief show of the sun this afternoon. Only had about a tenth of an inch of rain.

Busy day at the store. Processed several big donations between waiting on lots of customers. We made over $200.00 dollars.

I met Donna, Debra, and a friend of Debra’s from out of town for nice relaxing evening at the Cellar.

Sunny and warm with temperatures in the upper 60’s and calm winds. Too warm for March in the mountains.

We had a slow day in sales and customers at the store. But, we spent all day sorting, pricing, and shelving the two big donations that came in last Saturday. We had a couple of small ones to also come in to add to the pile.

55 mph plus winds blew all day yesterday and up until late this afternoon. I was up and down all night looking out the back and front. Yesterday afternoon the grill blew halfway across the deck. Temperatures went down into the upper 20’s last night.

Today was sunny and warmer once the winds died down. We made it into the low 50’s. I went to the gym and library this morning. This afternoon I went over to Donna’s for a visit and to play with all the dogs.

Rained all day yesterday but nothing heavy. Overnight, heavier rain and fog. A total of roughly an inch and half through this morning. Sun came out but it’s clouded back up with more rain before the wind blows this front out. We are under wind advisory again for tonight and all day tomorrow. Temperatures made it into the mid 50’s today after a chilly, damp start.

We had two good days at the store with over $100.00 both days. Today we had 10 donations come in; two big ones that I will have to sort and price Wednesday. We did not have time to get started on those today.

A steady rain that started sometime early this morning has been falling all day. Temperatures have hovered in the low 50’s with light winds. So far, only about 8 tenths of an inch in the rain gauge.

Rainy days are good days for the store. That plus parents in with kids home on spring break made for a lot of traffic most of the day. We made over $100.00 for the first time in several weeks for a Wednesday. No donations but busy helping customers.

Sunny and warm today with highs in the low 60’s and calm winds. We had a little over an inch of rain through this morning.

Today was half price paperback sale. We had a busy morning than a lag until around 2 when things picked up again. Made over $200.00 with several big number sales. Had a couple of small donations come in to work on as well.

This morning we had a mix of several types of precipitation that fell off and on all morning. We were right at the freeing mark. As things warmed up into the low 40’s it turned to rain off and on all day with a breeze. We just barely missed a white event.

We were moderately busy at the store. With several big sales we almost made $100. Pat and I worked on pricing and organizing shelves. We have a young lady who is volunteering hours starting today for several Fridays to get credits to go to college.

After work I met Donna and Jo at the Cellar. Still raining when we left. I’ve had close to an inch here at the house.
