I am reading The Cipher Garden by Martin Edwards.

28 degrees and sunny this morning when I left for the gym, home, and back to work. Sunny all day but chilly with temperatures barely making it into the 30’s with our steady 10 to 15 mph winds. At least we had a nice sunny day.

52 degrees and raining this morning when I left for the gym. I made a library and grocery store stop on the way back home then back to work my shift.

Rain, hard at times, this morning. The sun tried to come out a couple of times this afternoon but we’ve had periods of blowing rain off and on for the last hour. Temps starting dropping this afternoon as we get back down into the low 30’s tonight with 40 mph winds.

Ray of Ray’s weather reported we have not had three days in a row of sunshine since January 20-23. Before that, the last three day stretch was before Christmas.

Colin turned 9 years old today. He is getting some gray in his muzzle but has not slowed down all that much.

I had a trip to Winston this morning to run errands, get a haircut, and meet the girls from the Firm for lunch.

It’s was cloudy and 50’s in Winston but no rain going down or coming home. It’s cloudy here and looks like it may have drizzled at some point. It’s only 40 but thankfully not windy.

54 degrees with rain when I took Colin out this morning. I volunteered at the bookstore this morning. After raining all morning that system is out of here. Cloudy and warm this afternoon.

More on the way for tomorrow.

I am reading Death At Devil’s Bridge by Robin Paige.

44 degrees, partly cloudy, and windy this morning when I left for the gym, home, and back to work.

It’s been another rainy day with more tonight. So farĀ  we’ve had 20″ of rain and it’s only early February. I hate to repeat myself but, whew, am I glad this has not been all snow.

25 degrees, sunny, with a light dusting of snow. It started snowing yesterday afternoon but by 6 pm the grass was just barely white and flat surfaces had a light dusting. It was not snowing when I took Colin out lasts night around 9:30.

This morning the ground was covered but it all melted away by mid-morning. Low 40’s today with lots of sunshine and calm winds.

I did the usual house cleaning chores this morning. I have bills to pay and some other miscellaneous stuff to do at my desk this afternoon.

24 degrees with partly cloudy skies this morning when I took Colin out. We had a light dusting of snow last night. We may get another light dusting again this evening. Not as cold and windy today with temperatures in the mid 30’s.

Along with the usual load of laundry I’ve spent the day doing little projects and household chores. I also started some butterfly weed seeds in little pots in the garage as an experiment. I could not find the plant last year so decided to try from seed. They are hard to grow so the experiment may fail but it’s fun to try. Another batch of bird suet is cooling in the fridge to go out tomorrow.

We had a horrible hail storm this morning around 3 that knocked out the power for about an hour and a half. Rain totals from the rain yesterday and this morning topped out to almost 6 inches.

When I left for the gym it was sunny and 35 but still blowing 40 mph. I came home then went back to work my usual shift.

Around mid-morning the blowing snow showers started that have lasted all day. The sun would be shinning and snow would be blowing 40 mph across the parking lot.

Temperatures have dropped into the mid 20’s this afternoon and will continue to drop tonight with more snow showers. Other than a little bit of white in the grass and on the mulched beds you would not know it has snowed all day. Wind chills are down in the teens.

I am reading Terns of Endearment by Donna Andrews.

Pouring buckets of rain when I left for the gym this morning. Pouring buckets when I left to go back to the gym to work. This is the second time in about as many weeks that we have had a 5 plus inch rain event. Flood watches and warnings in place. Again, thankful it’s not snow. The rivers and creeks I pass on the way to and from the gym are all out of their banks.

I headed down the mountain to Winston again this morning. I met Bonnie for lunch then went by Frances and Al’s to drop some things off for them before my 2 pm appointment for my mammogram. I was there an hour and half making it 3:30 by the time I was heading home.

It was raining when I took Colin out this morning and rained all day in Winston. Looks like we’ve only had a quarter of an inch here. Colin had a long day home alone. Time to give him some much needed attention.
