It was 40 degrees, mostly sunny, and windy this morning when I went to the gym. I stayed about an hour after my workout to help Amy seal envelopes for the golf tournament mailing.

We had a lot of nasty weather yesterday and last night. We were under tornado watch for most of the day and last night and at times under a warning. I only had high winds and heavy rain here at the house. Trees were down in some areas not far from here. Colin was not happy with the television alarm warnings going off constantly.

Today we are still under a wind advisory until 6pm with mostly sunny skies but winds 20 to 30 mph and gusts near 50.

60 degrees with heavy fog and drizzle.

I’ve spent the morning cleaning. I vacuumed and dusted both upstairs and downstairs, cleaned both bathrooms and mopped those floors.

100% chance of rain and storms today and tonight. We’ve had heavy down pours off and on this morning and are under another high wind warning until late tonight with gusts over 50 mph due to the cold front coming through. We go from a high of 64 this afternoon to a low of 38 tonight.

57 degrees with rain and fog this morning. I was supposed to go with Joyce up to the Blue Ridge Parkway this morning to do some trash pick up along the Parkway. The light rain was not really a big deal but the heavy fog was an issue. Even with reflective vests it was too dangerous with drivers not being able to see us and us not being able to see cars coming.

She texted me around 8:30 and I agreed we should postpone. So, I changed out of trash pickup clothing to gym clothing and headed out.

I took care of a few little jobs on my to-do list. After lunch I made up a batch of home made granola bars and cleaned up that mess.

The rain is supposed to get heavier this afternoon with a chance of thunderstorms.

55 degrees, sunny, and breezy this morning. After breakfast for both Colin and myself I took off for Galax, VA to get some errands taken care of. I had several things to get at both Lowe’s and Walmart. I also stopped at the Show Dept. store, which is just across from the Walmart, to pick up a new pair of New Balance shoes for the gym. Every couple of years I rotate out the pair I where only at the gym into everyday use. The worst of the everyday ones get relegated to yard/garden, etc.

I made it back home about 11:30. After lunch I unloaded the car then Colin and I spent several hours outside. Temperatures are in the upper 60’s with lots of sunshine and a bit of a breeze. It’s still too early to plant stuff but I had a few odds and ends to do. JoAnn came by so we spent awhile sitting on the front porch and enjoying the beautiful day.
