Mostly sunny and chilly with highs in the upper 30’s and breezy.

An off and on busy day at the store. We had a couple of big donations come in that I worked on  in between helping customers and Joyce change the window. We only had a few sales but they were big ones taking us over $100.

Nasty weather in the state today from the mountains to the sea. We had a nasty thunderstorm this morning. As it progressed down the mountain to the triad area they were under tornado warnings.

The rain and storms had moved on by the time left for the gym. It was 56 degrees when I left to go to Donna’s to craft.  Temps have dropped down into the upper 30’s in just a couple of hours with off and on heavy rain. We may get snow tonight before all is said and done.

Sunny and warm today with highs in the low 60’s. Thursday morning we had sleet and a wet snow falling with winds gusting to 30 mph. By mid afternoon the sun was out and most of the snow had melted except in the shade. Yesterday was chilly and not as windy.

Frances and Al arrived this morning around 11. We ate lunch at home then drove into town to do some shopping at the local stores.

We are driving over to Galax, VA for dinner at Creek Bottom Brewery to celebrate Frances’ birthday.

Sunny and warm with highs in the upper 70’s and breezy. Mother Nature giving us  spring teaser before we go back to cold and windy.

A busy day at the store. Steady off and on all day and we did well over $100.00 which is a good day for a Wednesday. The warm weather brought a lot of folks in town.

Sunny and warm today with highs in the low 70’s and calm winds.

Went to the gym this morning. After lunch went over to Donna’s for our crafting afternoon with Donna and Tiani. Donna has a deer that visits her in the morning when she feeds the chickens. She has around 6 to 8 that come in her fields and around her house.

Today the one that likes to eat corn with the chickens came right up to the shed door while and watched us for ten or fifteen minutes. Donna finally got up and went to get her some corn. She didn’t even run away when she went out to the garage to get it. A beautiful creature to get to see up close.

A busy day at the store. Several donations came in this morning. It was half price paperback sale. We had a lot of customers this morning and a few this afternoon but we still did well over $100.00

Mostly sunny and warm today with highs in the low 70’s and calm winds. A very springlike day for it still being winter and in the mountains.

We had a fairly slow day with customers. Had several donations come in this morning to working on and the usual organizing shelves, etc.

Almost like spring today with highs in the low 60’s, lots of sunshine, and just a bit of a breeze.

We had a very busy day at the store. Several donations came in to work on this morning. We had customers all day from opening until closing with just a couple of slow spells. Made over $200.00 which was a good way to end the month.

Partly sunny with highs in the low 60’s but gusty winds in the 20 to 30 mph range otherwise it would be a fairly nice day for winter.

We had a slow day at the store with customers. So, Joyce and I did store organizing and cleaning. I worked some more on the big donation in the back this morning.
