44 degrees and cloudy when I left for Winston this morning. I met Al at the new Duck Donuts to exchange stuff for them and stuff for me. From there I did a Costco run to stock up on a few things and Bed Bath and Beyond then home.

It was drizzling when I got to Winston then while was in BB&B it thundered a couple of times and was raining hard. The rain continued until I was about ten miles outside of Winston on the way home. It’s still just cloudy up here with temps in the mid 50’s.

43 degrees, sunny, and calm. Luckily, no damage here from last nights storm. I took Colin out about 9 just before it hit bringing 60 mph winds, driving rain, thunder, and lightening. The rain total topped off to just under 5 inches from what fell all day yesterday and the storm. I went to bed to read around 9:30 but got up to check outside the front door and deck door periodically to check on things. The worst of the storm lasted about an hour rattling the rafters and shutters and pounding the side of house and deck door. Colin was good the whole time only getting frightened a couple of times when it thundered. Fortunately the winds rattling the house does not bother him any more.

I vacuumed and did a little dusting this morning then did a deep clean in the laundry room, the last room needing a good clean. This afternoon I’m going to mix up a batch of oat bars.

54 degrees with rain, fog, and wind. That is the forecast for today and tonight. Wind warning again for late this afternoon through tonight. I will have to batten down the bird feeder later today. We even have a chance of a thunder storm tonight.

I am working on the big walk in closet in the bedroom today. I took everything out that sits on the floor. The closet has those wire shelving units on one wall which we left set up the way they had them with the clothing bar across the top and a shelf over that. The stuff on the top shelf is fine as is. After I took the one dresser out last fall I just put stuff here and there.

After lunch I will start going through everything for keep or go to Cares.

31 degrees with snow showers. It snowed a little over night but not enough to cover the grass. The driveway and sidewalk had a slushy quarter of an inch covering. Snow showers on and off all morning. The winds have picked up to the usual 15 to 25 mph range blowing out the precipitation. High wind warning tonight through tomorrow morning.

I volunteered at the bookstore this morning. I have a few more things to cleanup and get back out on the tables. And, the house filters need changed.

34 degrees with a stiff breeze and sunshine when I left for the gym. Temperatures in the mid 40’s today but breezy. The winds howled last night gusting well over 50 mph.

I worked on pulling all the table top stuff and pictures out of the closet until 11:30 or so. I stopped for lunch then had to go into town to a Friends of the Library meeting. Everything needs dusted/cleaned before it goes back on or hung back up. Not really all that much except for my Lilliput Lane cottages.
