Another warm day with temps in the low 50’s, mostly sunny, and a slight breeze.
Frances and Al left around 10:30 for home. I did the usual house cleaning chores after they left. I have some paper work to do and wash a load of towels.
Sunshine, blue skies, and temperatures in the low 50’s today.
We spent a leisurely morning at home then left after lunch to drive over to Wytheville, VA; about an hour from here. From there we drove to Galax, Va to find some dinner. We ended up at a Mexican restaurant I pass coming and going from the Wal-Mart. Then home.
18 degrees, calm, and sunny skies this morning when I left for the gym, home, and then back to work. A beautiful, sunny day but chilly with temps only in the upper 30’s with a breeze.
The snow was really pretty this morning covering the ground and trees. It’s mostly melted off now except in shady areas. Main roads were fine this morning. As a matter of fact they are white from all the salt they put down yesterday.
Doing laundry while I wait for Frances and Al to get here for the weekend.
I am reading Fear In the Cotswolds by Rebecca Tope.
33 degrees and cloudy when I left for the gym, home, then back to work. They were salting the roads when I was going back to the gym.
It started snowing around mid-morning. It’s snow all day but we’ve only had about half an inch on the grass and trees. Roads in town are just wet even though temps are in the upper 20’s. It’s supposed to get down to 19 tonight.
38 degrees, partly cloudy, and calm this morning when I left for Winston. I had my yearly eye doctor visit at 10:30. All is well. Enough change in my vision to order new lenses. I like the frames I bought last year.
Afterwards I stopped by at Greek Guys, which is near the eye doctors, to pick up lunch to go and headed to Frances’ place of work. I guess she’s been there close to 2 years. It’s a local, family owned company, and a pretty good place to work. I met some nice folks and the place had a fairly nice atmosphere for a workplace.
After we ate and I took the tour I headed back up the mountain.
Volunteered at the bookstore this morning. It’s been cloudy all day with off and on rain showers. More of the same this afternoon. Temperatures have held steady in the mid to upper 40’s dropping down into the mid 30’s tonight. Once again moisture and temperatures will miss each other.
33 degrees, partly cloudy, and calm this morning when I left for the gym. Grocery store stop on the way home then back to work.
It’s been partly cloudy all day with temps in the upper 40’s. A nice day with at least a little bit of sunshine off and on.
37 degrees and partly cloudy with a breeze this morning when we went out. Cloudy all day with temps in the mid 40’s. Thankfully, no rain.
House cleaning chores this morning. Once I finished up we went outside. I have finally found an effective spray to keep the field mice out of AC unit under the deck. I spray it every couple of months and so far have not seen any. When they get in through the hole where the hose connects to the house they go up to the top and die on the the little shelf by the air holes.
I sprayed for weeds that have already started trying to take over along the mulch beds with all this rain and warm weather.
When I brought up a case of bottled water from the basement and set it down on the floor there was water when I went to move it to the laundry room. I had to take out every bottle until I found the one leaking. It was still 3/4 full so not sure it it sprung a leak when I pulled it off the metal shelving or what but that has never happened with all the water we’ve bought from Costco.
That’s been my day so far. I have a few kitchen chores to do this afternoon.
18 degrees and sunny this morning when I took Colin out. A nice sunny day but chilly with temps in the mid 30’s and a bit of breeze. Nice enough to go out for some play time.
Of course, it’s laundry and project day. The humidifiers had their weekly cleaning with white vinegar. I brought my hand pruners in from the garage. After a good scrubbing with an SOS pad I sharpened the blades and sprayed the working parts with WD 40.
The butterfly weed seeds are not showing any growth. I watered them lightly and put the plastic wrap back over the containers. Just odds and ends this afternoon.
