Rained all day yesterday but nothing heavy. Overnight, heavier rain and fog. A total of roughly an inch and half through this morning. Sun came out but it’s clouded back up with more rain before the wind blows this front out. We are under wind advisory again for tonight and all day tomorrow. Temperatures made it into the mid 50’s today after a chilly, damp start.

We had two good days at the store with over $100.00 both days. Today we had 10 donations come in; two big ones that I will have to sort and price Wednesday. We did not have time to get started on those today.

A steady rain that started sometime early this morning has been falling all day. Temperatures have hovered in the low 50’s with light winds. So far, only about 8 tenths of an inch in the rain gauge.

Rainy days are good days for the store. That plus parents in with kids home on spring break made for a lot of traffic most of the day. We made over $100.00 for the first time in several weeks for a Wednesday. No donations but busy helping customers.

Warm and sunny today after the fog lifted this morning. Temperatures in the upper 60’s with calm winds.

Went to the gym this morning. This afternoon I had Friends of the Library meeting. Otherwise, not much else going on.

Sunny and warm today with highs in the low 60’s and calm winds. We had a little over an inch of rain through this morning.

Today was half price paperback sale. We had a busy morning than a lag until around 2 when things picked up again. Made over $200.00 with several big number sales. Had a couple of small donations come in to work on as well.

This morning we had a mix of several types of precipitation that fell off and on all morning. We were right at the freeing mark. As things warmed up into the low 40’s it turned to rain off and on all day with a breeze. We just barely missed a white event.

We were moderately busy at the store. With several big sales we almost made $100. Pat and I worked on pricing and organizing shelves. We have a young lady who is volunteering hours starting today for several Fridays to get credits to go to college.

After work I met Donna and Jo at the Cellar. Still raining when we left. I’ve had close to an inch here at the house.

Winds were gusting into the 50 mph range last night with a few showers. Today was partly cloudy until this afternoon when a front came through. Pouring down rain. The temperature dropped from 55 degrees this afternoon to 38 degrees in about two hours. We are under a high wind warning tonight with gusts in the 50 mph range and a low back down into the upper 20’s.

A slow day at the store. Usually we are busy when it’s nasty outside but no customers today. We straighten shelves and did odds and ends.

Donna invited me over for dinner. She fixed tortellini in a cream sauce with bread. I brought the wine. Enjoyed the visit and playing with the dogs.

Off and on sun and clouds today with intermittent light rain showers.

Gym this morning. This afternoon drove over to West Jefferson for my appointment to have my taxes done. While I was over in that area I stopped at Lowe’s to pick up a couple of things.

Otherwise, that’s about it for today.

A strange weather day. We’ve had alternately sunshine and snow/sleet/wet mix squalls day. Temperatures in the mid 30’s and wind chills down into the 20’s. Temperature tonight down into the low 20’s.

A very busy day this morning at the store. We went over $100 by noon but then things fell off for the afternoon. I worked, again, on pricing and shelving books. Pat was at the library function so Wendy and I held down the fort.  Whew, been a tiring week at the store. Ready for a break.

Rain this morning than partly cloudy this afternoon. Only had about a 10th of an inch. The winds picked up this afternoon. Clear skies tonight and temperatures down into the low 30’s.

We had a slow day in sales though still a good day. At least made over $50.00. Pat and I priced and shelved books all day in between customers.

I met Donna and Ann after work at the Cellar.

Sunny and mild today with highs in the low 50’s and a light breeze.

A slow day in sales at the store but a big day for donations. We worked on them all day and still have boxes and boxes to sort and price. Thankfully, we have the back storage room to put them until we can get them sorted.
