31 degrees and mostly sunny this morning when I took Colin out. I volunteered at the bookstore today. Partly cloudy with temperatures in the mid 50’s again today. Rain moves in tonight but temperatures stay warm enough for the precipitation to continue as rain.

31 degrees and sunny with a heavy frost when I left for the gym. I had several errands to run locally this morning including my weekly grocery store run. I decided not try to fight the crowds on Wednesday and did it today.

Temperatures are warming up fast with highs today in the mi 50’s with lots of sunshine and a slight breeze.

32 degrees with 15 to 25 mph winds gusting to 40. Winds howled all night and this morning. They are supposed to calm down this afternoon. Lots of sunshine and mid 40 temperatures.

House cleaning this morning. I cleared off tops of tables and book shelves to get them ready for the Christmas decorations later in the week. The fall decorations table is still intact until I actually start decorating but getting the other stuff stashed away in the closet saves me time.

I am reading Scone Cold Dead by Kaitlyn Dunnett.

41 degrees with drizzle. It will be a messy day with 100% chance of rain through tonight. I decided to drive over to Galax this morning to pick up a few things at Wal-Mart.

Laundry and other assorted things to get done this afternoon.

42 degrees and foggy this morning. I left here around 8:30 to drive to Kernersville, a bedroom community about 20 minutes on the other side of Winston. My friend Lori’s brother died unexpectedly last Thursday. The service was at 11. Once I was off the mountain the fog lifted and I had just drizzle the rest of the way.

Off course, I arrived early since I gave myself plenty of time to allow for traffic, construction, etc. While I was waiting to go in the chapel of the funeral home where the service was being held Lori and her family came in. Since I was able to talk with her a few minutes I left right after the service was over to head back up the mountain.

It was raining when I left the funeral home. About 5 miles outside of Winston I-40 was a parking lot probably due to an accident. Fortunately I was not far from the exit ramp that goes through town back to 421. It poured down all the way until I arrived in Sparta. The rain was not in the forecast for today for here or down the mountain. Doesn’t look like it rained much and now the sun is out.
