62 degrees, foggy, and drizzling. Fog, rain, and cool temperatures all day today and tonight. We had almost two inches over night. We are under flood watches and warnings.
Frances and Al come up this morning. We were supposed to meet up in Galax, VA for lunch and shopping. We changed those plans to they would come here first then we would all go to Galax. With all the rain and fog we nixed those plans and will stay in Sparta doing local stuff.
66 degrees, cloudy, and calm when I left for the gym this morning. Home and back to work my midday shift. It drizzled off and on this morning then rained fairly hard for awhile this afternoon. I’ve only had half an inch here to add to the half inch that fell over night. We need the rain. It was too dry for James to mow this week.
I am reading Stowed Away by Barbara Ross.
Happy birthday to my brother-in-law Al. Also, today would have been Bob’s 66th birthday. I miss him everyday.
72 degrees, cloudy, and calm this morning when I left for the gym. I stopped at the grocery store on the way home then it was back to the gym to work my shift.
66 degrees, cloudy, and calm but humid. I left here around 7:45 for Winston. I had a 9:30 haircut appointment. From there I made stops at the pet store to pick up dog food for Colin and Lowe’s to pick up two 40 lb bags of birdseed for the birds. Then on to Costco for big stock up run. Along with the several large packages of my pork and beef ribs and both chicken thighs and legs I picked up cereal and canned goods for the pantry, etc along with 8 cases of water. I had one of those orange flat carts loaded by the time I was finished.
It was noon by the time I had everything packed into coolers and in the car to head back up the mountain.
So, between the dog and bird food bags and 8 cases of water all lifted three times; once in the store, once into the car, and unloaded at home I had a full gym workout this morning. I was not hot in Winston but it was very humid; as it is here. I hit rain on the way back up the mountain and it’s raining lightly now. Next task is to repackage the ribs into meals and the grated cheese into small bags.
57 degrees, sunny, and calm this morning. Low 70’s today, mostly sunny, and not as windy. Chance of showers this evening.
Today was volunteer day at the bookstore. The AC guy is coming this afternoon to do the checkup for the summer.
62 degrees, sunny, and of course, breezy when I left for the gym this morning.
Temperatures are just barely going to make it into the 70’s with 10 to 15 mph winds. Low tonight is to be down into the low 40’s. We had a few light showers off and on last night. It was not much but enough to water the plants and the garden.
I had a staff meeting at the gym at noon followed by a Friends of the Library meeting at 1 pm.
64 degrees, sunny, and breezy. Partly to mostly sunny today and again, temperatures only making it into the mid to upper 70’s with the breeze. We had a couple of storms in the area but nothing here.
This morning I changed the linens, cleaned both the upstairs and downstairs bathrooms, and vacuumed. I also pulled out the freezer in the garage and used the shop vac to vacuum the back of the freezer and behind it. I tidied up the garage and swept around the doors.
The towels are washing and I put boneless pork ribs in the crock pot for dinner tonight and next week.
62 degrees, sunny, and breezy. With a high only in the low 70’s and a good breeze it feels more like early spring than the first day June.
I weeded the garden this morning and put in another row of green beans. I also put in another row of peas in one of the fabric pots on the deck. I weeded the flower beds along the porch and the driveway. I will water this evening if we do not get any afternoon thunderstorms.
This afternoon is laundry and taking care of first of the month paperwork.
I am reading Widow’s Wreath by Cynthia Riggs.
68 degrees, sunny, and breezy this morning when I left for the gym. Cool, mostly cloudy, and windy again today. We have thunderstorms all around us but so far, nothing getting to us here.
I worked my midday shift at the gym.
78 degrees, sunny, and breezy when I left for the gym. Another windy day with partly sunny skies and temperatures in the low 80’s. We had a brief but intense thunderstorm around 6pm last night that dropped about 3 tenths of an inch of rain with lots of wind. That is the first rain we’ve had in over a week.
I went to the grocery store on the way home from the gym then back to the gym to work my midday shift.
