I am reading Murder in the Irish Churchyard by Carlene O’Connor.
66 degrees, cloudy, and windy this morning when I left for the gym then back home and back to work my midday shift.
We’ve had winds of 20 to 40 mph with gusts 50 and over all day. Instead of all day rain the sun would shine then it would cloud up and rain in bands. Temperatures have fallen into the low 50’s and will continue tonight to a low of 40 with a high wind warning until tomorrow noon.
61 degrees, partly cloudy, and breezy when I left for the gym this morning. I made a grocery store stop on the way home and then headed back to work.
After a brief shower this morning the sun came out for most of the day and warmed things back up into the low 70’s. It’s clouded back up again ahead of the rain that is supposed to come in tonight. Looks to be another rainy Friday.
65 degrees, sunny, and calm this morning. I did my volunteer shift at the bookstore. Today is an absolute beautiful spring day with temperatures in the mid to upper 70’s, lots of sunshine, and a breeze.
A great day to give Colin his six month bath outside. He keeps himself very clean where he can he can reach but after awhile his sides, back, and head need a good shampoo. Last time I did his bath in the bathroom shower he fought me like a bull and it took half an hour to mop up water on the floor, wall, and counter.
He is actually much better about his bath with the hose outside. I do have his leash attached which I stand on to keep him from moving away from me but overall he was much better.
We stayed outside tossing the ball so he (and I) could dry out a little and as a reward.
50 degrees, sunny, and breezy this morning when I left for the gym. It’s a nice day with lots of sunshine but with the breeze and mid 60 temperatures still a bit cool. While I worked outside Colin enjoyed being outside in the sunshine.
Today was paint day. Using black flat Rust-Oleum paint I hand painted the hanging basket poles which stay out all year. One is a two prong that holds the bird feeder and suet feeder/hanging basket. I painted the little railing we had installed on the front porch steps, the hanging planter holder that sits on the deck, and a plant holder that sits on the front porch. The porch railing may need another coat later this week.
Tonight I’m grilling out a hamburger steak and some beef ribs for a dinner later in the week.
40 degrees, cloudy, and windy. We have partly cloudy skies with temperatures not making it much above the mid 50 mark with 10 to 15 mph winds. Not an outdoor day.
I vacuumed, cleaned the bathrooms, dusted, and did some paperwork at my desk. I have boneless pork ribs in the slow cooker and a pot of pinto beans simmering on the stove.
Happy anniversary to Frances and Al.
40 degrees, cloudy, and breezy this morning. I have not put out the plastic rain gauge yet so I am relying on the electronic one which reads a little low especially if we get heavy, blowing downpours. As of last night around 9pm it was showing 3.8 inches of rain which means I had at least 4 inches.
Today is cloudy with a high of 43 and more rain this afternoon with gusty winds.
About five years ago Bob and I drove over to Greensboro to the LDS store to purchase cases of flour, rice, sugar, macaroni, powered milk, spaghetti, and instant potatoes when he was just getting started with the LTS project. The boxes have been stored in the downstairs bedroom closet. This morning I moved them all out to the unfinished area to take inventory of what I have.
While I was down there I organized the other food on the shelves to see what I will need to stock up on from Costco that I use on a regular basis. Nothing much else today except doing a load of laundry.
60 degrees with fog this morning when I left for the gym. I worked my middle of the day shift. We’ve were under tornado watch until late this afternoon. We’ve been under flood watch and flash flood warning for the last couple of hours. The rain has come down in sheets at times then stops then comes down either in hard downpours or in sheets all day. I’ve had three plus inches here at the house.
Fortunately no severe weather or thunder to scare Colin.
I am reading Toucan Keep A Secret by Donna Andrews.
61 degrees, sunny, and breezy this morning when I left for the gym. I made a grocery store stop on the way home then back to work my midday shift. It’s been breezy and partly cloudy this afternoon. James was finished mowing the lawn by the time I got home.
59 degrees, partly cloudy, and calm this morning. There was a program at the library I helped with this morning. I got back home around 12:30. It was sunny and warm this afternoon when I left for Winston around 2:00. I had several errands to run before meeting Nancy and Betsy for dinner at 5 at La Bontano then headed back up the mountain.
