Warm and mostly sunny this afternoon with highs in the mid 80’s and humid.

I drove over to Galax, VA this morning. I went to Lowe’s to pick up a couple of bags of bird seed then stopped at Walmart. Had good luck there picking up a couple items I had not been able to get at Food Lion. I bought some additional canned food items and a couple of odds and ends.

The  Show Dept. is in the same shopping complex at Walmart. I found my size in the New Balance tennis shoes I like which is often not the case. All in all a successful trip.

Another warm day with some clouds but mostly sunny and breezy. Temperatures in the low 80’s.

House cleaning chores this morning. Went out and watered the hanging baskets.

Thick boneless pork chops in the crock pot for dinner and to freeze for future meals.

It’s been sunny, warm, and breezy the last couple of days with temps in the low to mid 80’s.

Not really much going on. I went to the gym yesterday and worked outside for awhile watering plants and dead heading flowers.

Today is laundry and odds and ends chores.

I am reading One For The Books by Jenn McKinlay.

Sunny and warm again today with temps in the mid 80’s and, as always, a chance of thunderstorms this afternoon.

I went to the grocery store this morning. Really did not need anything but milk and salad greens. They were stocking shelves but still a lot of things out of stock.

Another warm and humid day for us with temperatures in the mid 80’s. Sunny this morning but a few clouds this afternoon. May get a stray thunderstorm.

I volunteered at the bookstore for several hours. Slow day today compared to other Wednesdays.

I am reading Dead Center by David Rosenfelt.

Sunny and warm today with temps in the mid to upper 80’s with a breeze.

I did some organizing in the garage then on to gardening chores. I pulled out the dead leaves in the lambs ear by the driveway then worked on the butterfly garden. Some of the tall plants have died off and needed cut back. I pruned the quince bush way back to make it easier for me to keep it trimmed. That was about it for me for today.

Sunny, warm, and breezy today with temps in the low to mid 80’s.

Gym this morning and a couple of errands. I spent some time outside pulling weeds.  The stems of the  lilies along the driveway have finally dying off and needed cut back.

We pulled one of the yellow squash plants from the pot on Saturday but the other one has a couple of viable looking squash.

I am reading Credible Threat by J.A. Jance.

Sunny, breezy, and warm today with highs in the low 80’s. We had a thunderstorm yesterday afternoon dropping another 2 inches of rain just about the time we had finished up outside.

After Frances and Al left for home around 10:45 I started on the weekly house cleaning chores.

Mostly sunny and warm with temperatures in the upper 70’s with a nice breeze. May get a thunderstorm this afternoon.

We went into town this morning to run a couple of errands then back home to fix some lunch.

This afternoon Al trimmed back the three bushes out by the road. While I helped with that Frances deadheaded some of the flowers.

Last night for dinner they brought up fried chicken and sides from Publix. Leftovers for dinner tonight.

Mostly sunny today with temperatures in the mid to upper 70’s. Brief storm yesterday evening but fortunately only a few tenths of an inch of rain. We don’t need any more rain right now.

I went to the gym and library this morning.

Doing the laundry this afternoon. Frances and Al will be this evening.
