Gym this morning. Today was mostly cloudy all day with the sun poking out every once in awhile. Temperatures were in the low 70’s with high humidity. I worked the midday shift at the gym. Around 2 o’clock it rained for about five minutes. It looks like it rained here about the same amount of time. We have another hurricane possibly coming our way; this one from the gulf. Those folks down on the coast do not need any more rain while trying to clean up from Florence.

House cleaning chores this morning. I cleaned off my desk and did the first of the month bill paying and checking account balancing.

Heavy fog when I took Colin out around 7:30 but the sun came out later in the morning. It’s another warm fall day with temperatures in the lower 80’s and not much of a breeze.

The day started off cloudy with low temperatures and high humidity. I did a few chores in the house while waiting on Tina to show up from Pilot Mountain for a visit. She arrived around noon. We went into to Sparta for lunch at Horizon Bistro then came home and sat on the front porch for a couple of hours.

The sun came out about this afternoon and the clouds went away. It’s still humid with temperatures in the upper 70’s but there is a nice breeze blowing making it nice to sit outside. Tina left a little bit ago to head back home.

Another nice day with cool temperatures this morning but warming up to the low 80’s again this afternoon. We’ve had partly to mostly sunny skies the majority of the day; not much of a breeze, and low humidity.

Off to the gym this morning before heading back to work another midday shift.

I thawed out chicken, a hamburger steak, and a package of Italian sausage to throw on the grill this evening. The chicken will be frozen for future stir fry meals, I will eat the hamburger streak tonight and have the grilled sausages to eat over the weekend with something.

Gym and grocery store this morning. I was back home in time to give Colin some playtime and get ready to head back for my midday shift.

This morning it was 61 degrees, sunny, low humidity, and slight breeze. Temperatures have climbed into the low 80’s today making it a bit warmer than yesterday but we do have a good breeze.

A trip down to Winston today. I left a little after 8 to give me time to run some errands before my 10:30 haircut appointment. I had one more errand to get done before meeting the girls for lunch up town at our usual place, Jeffrey Adams. From there it was back up the mountain getting home a little before 3.

The weather in Winston was sunny and hot with temperatures in the upper 80’s. It was 61 when I left here this morning and is in the upper 70’s with low humidity and no breeze this afternoon.

I am reading Death On A Vineyard Beach by Philip R. Craig.

Mostly cloudy and cool today. Perhaps a stray thunderstorm this afternoon or evening. I volunteered at the Bookstore this morning.  Not sure what I will get into this afternoon.

Gym this morning. Today is a beautiful day in the mountains. Mostly clear skies, warm, and not much of a breeze. I sat outside on the porch for awhile this morning until time to fix my lunch. I have a very large red lantana in the flower garden in front of the porch. This morning I had two humming birds flitting around drinking from the flowers. They were also visiting the lantana I have in a hanging pot. I do not put out the feeders; too much like work. I guess they were in and out of that bush for about half an hour before they flew off. I’ve seen some several times for just a few minutes at the hanging pot all summer but never two of them and not staying for long of a time.

I had a Friends of the Library meeting this afternoon.

Mostly cloudy and cool this morning. While waiting on Al and Frances to get here I cleaned the bathrooms before getting started on outdoor chores. I trimmed back the Rose of Sharon, dug more weeds from the natural areas, and dug up a few more annuals that are done for the year.

They arrived around 11. Al and I did a few outdoor and garage chores while Frances set up the salad stuff for a light lunch. While Al tilled the garden with the big tiller I did a few more outdoor chores then they took off for Winston.

I am reading The Sound of Running Horses by Donna Ball.

It was cool and sunny when Colin and I went out around 8am. The forecast is for cloudy skies and a slight chance of an afternoon or evening shower. After tomorrow morning the first part of next week is to be dry if you can believe the weather folks.

I washed the car this morning after getting a few things done in the house. This is the first time I’ve washed it since I bought it because we’ve had so much rain. As a matter of fact; the dealership washed it the day I picked it up. It rained all the way home and has  rained pretty much every week since.

I vacuumed today since I have something to do tomorrow, swept off the front porch, and now have a load of laundry washing.
