29 degrees and sunny with gusty winds. The wind howled all night long.

A trip down to Winston this morning to run some errands before my yearly eye doctor check up. As usual the vision has changed somewhat due to the cataracts but they are still not bad enough to require surgery. New glasses are on order to picked up sometime next week.

It was warm in Winston but also a bit breezy. After my appointment I stopped to eat a bit of lunch while I waited for my eyes to return back to normal before driving back up the mountain.

It’s warmed up a bit but winds are still gusting well over 50 mph.

Colin turns 8 years old today. Nothing special planned since he is treated as special every day of the week.

33 degrees, cloudy, and breezy. High wind warning for tonight through tomorrow along with a chance of heavy rain and possibly ending as snow showers before all is said and done.

I volunteered at the bookstore this morning.

44 degrees, cloudy, and calm this morning. It’s actually warmer here than in Winston which does not happen very often. Cloudy today with rain moving in this afternoon and tonight.

Gym and a couple of errands this morning.

27 degrees, cloudy, and calm this morning. Al took care of Colin while I slept in. We spent a leisurely morning before they headed back to Winston. I did a quick vacuum and cleaning of the bathrooms, It’s supposed to rain this afternoon but may start as snow showers. Temperatures are in the mid 30’s. Chicken and rice in the crock pot for dinner.

It was 24 degrees, mostly sunny, and windy this morning. I did a load of clothes and tidied up the kitchen while waiting on Frances and Al to arrive around lunch time.

After lunch Al used a rubber silicon caulk to seal the crack between the wall and the floor  on one side of the unfinished area of the basement. I am hoping this will stop the water that comes in when we have a lot of heavy rain.

It made it almost to 40 degrees with some cloudy skies but at least the winds have died down.

I am reading Plum tea Crazy by Laura Childs.

It was 64 degrees and foggy this morning. I went to the gym then back home, then back to the gym to work. Today is our last day of “summer” weather with highs almost making it to 70 with lots of sunshine. Tonight is to be a low of 41 then temperatures in the morning start falling with what else…wind. Teens by tomorrow night.

it’s such a lovely afternoon I think I will grill my hamburger steak on the grill.

54 degrees, cloudy, and calm this morning.  I went to the gym then had several errands to run including a grocery store stop. We’ve had off and on showers with mostly cloudy skies but warm.

Back to the gym for a staff meeting. Spaghetti and homemade bread for dinner.
