Mostly cloudy today with highs in the mid 50’s and calm winds. Rain is moving in tonight and will be around most of the rest of the week.

James had mowed today instead of tomorrow, I guess, due to the nasty weather coming in. He has not stopped by to pick up his money yet for me to talk with him.

We had an interesting day at the store. Not many customers or sales but the ones we had were big enough to take us over a $100.00 day. Some days are like that. We had a few shoppers in at closing time so I stayed until they finished shopping. A good day all around.

Mostly sunny today and a bit warmer with temperatures in the mid 50’s with 5 to 10 mph winds.

Gym this morning then stopped at the library to return and check out some books.

Since it was a nicer day outside I worked some more on the weeding. I also used the hand pruners to trim the new growth on the white quince to keep it at the size Al trimmed it to last fall. I moved one of the primroses that was not doing good where it was and replanted some more stone crop along the driveway. I dumped a wheel barrow load of grass and weeds then called it quits for the day.

Sunny today but chilly and breezy. We are under a freeze warning for tonight.

I went to the gym and grocery store. I had planned to do some weed pulling this afternoon but with the temperatures in the low 50’s and winds gust at 15 mph decided it was not a good day for that.

Instead I guess I will just hang around in the house and not do much of anything the rest of the day.

Rain this morning with a thunder shower. Woke me up around 7 am. We had off and on showers until around midday when the sun finally came out to stay and temperatures in the mid 50’s. The winds have kicked up this afternoon with gusts in the 35 mph range for tonight with dropping temperatures back down into the upper for 30’s. April weather in the mountains.

We had a busy day at the store. Almost broke the $250.00 ceiling. Lots of out of town folks visiting for the day along with a few regulars here and there.

Sunny and warm again today with temperatures in the low 70’s and breezy. Rain and colder temperatures move in tonight.

A moderately decent day at the store. Almost broke the $50.00 ceiling. Had a good number of sales but small amounts. Still, glad to be there for the folks who came in looking to buy or browse.

Another warm, sunny day with highs in the mid 70’s and light winds. A cold front is on the way tomorrow.

A sort of busy day at the store. We did not break the $100.00 ceiling but we had a good day with a few big sales but not like yesterday. Again, locals with guests in town or tourist checking out our small town.

The yard is looking very lush and greenĀ  from whenever James mowed sometime today. My bleeding heart has bloomed as have my primroses. The asters are starting to come up so I need to split those soon.

Warm and sunny today with highs in the low 70’s and finally, no 40 plus mph winds.

Lots of tourist in town taking advantage of the nice weather. We were busy most of the day and broke the $200.00 ceiling. Several large purchases contributed to the grand total. I had one couple who stayed well past our closing time which I did not mind. They were enjoying browsing the store and made a fairly large purchase to close out the day.

Two separate rain storms yesterday; one in in the early evening then another one later that night. Close to an inch of rain. Winds are howling today with 45 plus mph gusts but lots of sunshine. It was 41 this morning. High today in the low 50’s.

Gym this morning then the grocery store to pick up my lettuce and milk. I am pretty well stocked after our Saturday visit to Food City.

This afternoon I need to change the sheets and do a couple of odds and ends in the house. Fixing chicken Alfredo for dinner. I am using my last cooked chicken breast which means I need to grill up some more sometime soon.

Clouds are starting to come in for some showers and maybe some storms this afternoon. Highs in the upper 60’s.

Frances and Al left mid-morning. I did the house cleaning chores.

Laundry this afternoon but not much else. Heating up leftovers for dinner Frances froze for me from her Easter dinner last weekend.
