I am reading Open Season by CJ Box.

Mostly sunny today with highs in the upper 70’s, low humidity, and a bit of a breeze.

I went to the gym this morning than stops at the library and gas up the car. Then spent a half hour or so pulling weeds and grass from the natural areas and watering the potted plants.

Sunny today and still cool with temps in the upper 70’s and a breeze.

A thunderstorm rolled in around 5:30 last night dropping the temperature 12 degrees and almost 2 inches of rain mixed with some hail.

I had several house to-do projects this morning in addition to the usual house cleaning chores. Those are all taken care of.

Mostly sunny today with temps still in the comfortable range of upper 70’s and humid but with a nice breeze. Things are getting dry. We need rain but not much in sight except for small chances of thundershowers.

While the clothes were in the washer I did a few organizational chores in the garage that had been on my to-do list. The hanging pots in the sun needed some water. I harvested a small yellow squash off the plant on the deck. I’ll fix that for dinner to go on the chicken Alfredo.

Another nice day with temperatures in the mid to upper 70’s and a nice breeze.

I spent the morning outside pulling weeds, watering plants, and other general maintenance gardening projects.

Had to run into town this afternoon to pick up a prescription and drop off something for Joyce at the bookstore.

Sunny today and still cool temps with highs again in the low to mid 70’s with a slight breeze.

I did another shift at the bookstore today. Kind of slow for a Thursday. Now time to give some attention to Colin.

I am reading Bound for Murder by Victoria Gilbert.

Sunny but cool today with highs in the mid to upper 70’s and a bit of a breeze.

This morning watered the plants and filled the bird feeders then left for the bookstore. A light to moderate traffic day.

Cloudy and cool this morning when I left for Winston. It was supposed to be a rainy day with rain here in the morning and lots of rain down in Winston. It is sunny but still cool with temps only getting into the upper 60’s.

I stopped at Home Depot to pick up furnace filters then across the street to Costco. Picked up everything on my list. Now that I have the new freezer picked chicken, hamburger, and boneless pork chops plus pantry items and other odds and ends.

Mostly sunny this morning with clouds moving in this afternoon. High today only in the low 70’s with lows back down into the 60’s.

I went to the gym this morning then did a few outdoor chores; watering plants, pulling weeds, etc.

We had our first Friends of the Library meeting today at 1 pm since March 2, of 2020. Not a lot in attendance but good to see a few folks I do not see at the bookstore.

I am reading Love and Death Among the Cheetahs by Rhys Bowen.

We had a brief storm around 11:15 followed by just light rain. Not a lot but enough to water the plants.

This morning was the usual house cleaning chores. I need to take care of first of the month bills and wash a load of towels.

I am grilling some chicken for dinner and freeze for future meals. Stopped by the little store up the road yesterday to pick up a couple of zucchini to slice and throw on the grill.
