Warm temperatures have returned with highs in the mid to upper 70’s and breezy.

An off and on day at the store. Not a lot of folks in town today so light traffic for us. Slow this morning but things picked up a little this afternoon. Still a good day in sales overall.

After five inches of rain on Saturday through last night the storm finally blew itself out of here this morning bringing sunny skies, cool temperatures, and gusty winds. We made it into the upper 60’s this afternoon.

Gym this morning then this afternoon back at Donna’s for crafting and animal watching. Gladys the chicken came to visit then a mom and two baby deer came right up to the porch of the she shed for a visit. A few minutes later two more moms and their babies showed up out in the further out in the yard. We sat and watched them for awhile then I left and came on back home.

A messy day from remnants of a tropical storm that came up from the gulf. Rain, drizzle, and wind all day and will continue through tonight into tomorrow.

But, we had two good days at the store. Yesterday we did over $100.00 and had a couple of nice donations. Today, with the rain folks were in town cruising the stores with nothing else to do. Store was packed for most of the day until late this afternoon and we did over $200.00.

Too messy to go out for dinner tonight so I need to rustle up something to eat.

Another beautiful day in the mountains. Sunny and warm with highs in the low 70’s.

An off and on day at the store. I had it by myself today. Sort of busy this morning and this afternoon. Some sales but nothing spectacular and we had a lot of folks just come in to browse.

I had library board meeting tonight so it’s a quick dinner and then back to town.

A beautiful day in the mountains. Clear blue skies with highs in the low 70’s and a breezy.

Gym this morning. This afternoon I had a Friends of the Library meeting then came back home to do some things here at home. Most of the crafting folks had other things to do today also so we decided not to meet.

A nasty day with dense fog, light rain, and cool temperatures in the low 60’s.

We had a good weekend at the store. Did almost $100.00 yesterday plus worked on several big donations. Today was half price paperbacks. We did over $300.00 and had a couple of small donations as well.

Sunny and warm with highs in the mid 70’s. We started out in the upper 50’s this morning. Nice fall weather here in the mountains.

A very slow customer day at the store. But, as usual, Joyce and I had several big projects to complete with some shifting of books on the shelves and sorting out some more of the back log from the back room.

Sunny and breezy with highs in the low 70’s. We started out the morning in the low 50’s.

I went to the gym early then back home to shower and go for my six month dentist appointment. All was fine. Back home, I fixed lunch then on to Donna’s for crafting.

Sunny and breezy today. We started out this morning in the low 40’s and made it to the high 60’s by this afternoon.

It was a slow weekend at the store. I think there were other festivals going on in surrounding towns and down the mountain this weekend. But, we did okay in sales just nothing spectacular.

Cloudy, drizzle, rain, and fog all day. Temperatures never made it out of the upper 50’s. Another inch in the rain gauge to add to the couple of inches we had over the weekend.

A funny day at the store. Hardly any customers all morning and the few that came in only looked around. So by 2 pm it was zero in sales. Then we starting getting customers late afternoon and before you know it we had almost $100.00 in sales in about an hour and a half.

I spent the morning getting the store straightened up from the big sale last weekend. Then I worked on pulling stuff from the back to restock shelves.
