I am reading Sins of the Fathers by J. A. Jance.

41 degrees with partly cloudy skies when I left for the gym this morning. Grocery store on the way home. 50’s today with partly cloudy skies and a breeze. Winds howled last night rattling the shutters and keeping me awake.

34 degrees and sunny with a breeze. Lots of sunshine and warmer with temperatures in the low 50’s today. More rain for tomorrow.

After I finished the weekly cleaning chores I vacuumed out the car and cleaned the inside of the windows. We usually get enough of a break between bouts of precipitation I can wash the car. Not this winter. It has rained or we had some form of frozen precipitation every couple of days sine the first of the year making it useless.

28 degrees with gusty winds and roughly two inches of snow. It was dry, powdery snow making it easy for the gusting winds to blow it around like a sand storm. Colin enjoyed running around in circles in the snow and playing some ball. With the cold temps and wind chill I only keep him out for a short period of time.

The sun is out but will remain cold and windy today.

Along with the weekly load of laundry I have the usual assorted to-do list. Crock pot chicken for dinner and I need to mix up another batch of suet for the birds.

I am reading Degrees of Separation by Sue Henry.

28 degrees and cloudy when I left for the gym, home, and back to work. Around 11 it started blowing snow. Like yesterday, it snowed off and on all day but no accumulation. The wind today is not as bad; 10 to 15 with 20 mph gusts. Temps in the low 20’s again tonight with snow showers.

43 degrees and sunny this morning when I left for the gym. Clouds are rolling in this afternoon bringing rain turning to snow showers tonight.

I drove over to Galax, VA to make a Lowe’s, Wal-Mart, and shoe store stop. I needed routine pantry food items from Wal-Mart. There is a Shoe Dept. across from Wal-Mart that I like to shop in for my New Balance shoes. There was one in the mall in Winston requiring me to go there until I discovered the one in Galax.

I stopped in town on the way back home from Galax to pick up milk, salad greens, and apples. I prefer their fresh fruit and veggies.

I keep wondering what Bob would have to say about the new virus. When he died we had enough food in house to last a year. I have pared that down to stuff I like to eat but Colin and I have enough food and provisions to last more than a month if necessary. On that note, I also have a well stocked to-be-read shelf as well.
