Mostly sunny and warm today with highs in the mid 60’s and breezy.

I went to the gym early this morning then came home, showered, and left for my dentist appointment. Back home to fix lunch then to Donna’s to craft. Visited with her chickens and the rabbits. The deer came to visit us as well.

Sunny but cold and blustery with highs in the upper 40’s.

A good day at the store. Busy in waves and lots of good sales. We did well over $200.00. No donations came in which was okay too as busy as we were with customers.

Sunny and breezy with highs in the low 60’s.

The store was slow this morning but it picked up in the early afternoon. We had a good day with sales but did not make $100.00 and no donations.

Sunny and breezy today. Highs in the upper 60’s early today but with temperatures falling this afternoon and tonight. We will be back down into the mid 30’s with gusty winds 25 to 30 mph again.

Gym this morning then over to Donna’s this afternoon to craft. It was still nice enough to have the door open to watch the birds and deer.

Mostly sunny and chilly with highs in the upper 30’s and breezy.

An off and on busy day at the store. We had a couple of big donations come in that I worked on  in between helping customers and Joyce change the window. We only had a few sales but they were big ones taking us over $100.

Nasty weather in the state today from the mountains to the sea. We had a nasty thunderstorm this morning. As it progressed down the mountain to the triad area they were under tornado warnings.

The rain and storms had moved on by the time left for the gym. It was 56 degrees when I left to go to Donna’s to craft.  Temps have dropped down into the upper 30’s in just a couple of hours with off and on heavy rain. We may get snow tonight before all is said and done.

Sunny and warm today with highs in the low 60’s. Thursday morning we had sleet and a wet snow falling with winds gusting to 30 mph. By mid afternoon the sun was out and most of the snow had melted except in the shade. Yesterday was chilly and not as windy.

Frances and Al arrived this morning around 11. We ate lunch at home then drove into town to do some shopping at the local stores.

We are driving over to Galax, VA for dinner at Creek Bottom Brewery to celebrate Frances’ birthday.

Sunny and warm with highs in the upper 70’s and breezy. Mother Nature giving us  spring teaser before we go back to cold and windy.

A busy day at the store. Steady off and on all day and we did well over $100.00 which is a good day for a Wednesday. The warm weather brought a lot of folks in town.

Sunny and warm today with highs in the low 70’s and calm winds.

Went to the gym this morning. After lunch went over to Donna’s for our crafting afternoon with Donna and Tiani. Donna has a deer that visits her in the morning when she feeds the chickens. She has around 6 to 8 that come in her fields and around her house.

Today the one that likes to eat corn with the chickens came right up to the shed door while and watched us for ten or fifteen minutes. Donna finally got up and went to get her some corn. She didn’t even run away when she went out to the garage to get it. A beautiful creature to get to see up close.
