Diaries

Lots of wind and rain last night with over 4 inches from the remnants of Ian as he moved through the state. Today it’s been drizzly with temperatures in the low 50’s and breezy.

I was at the bookstore all day. We were surprised that we were busy most of the day with the nasty weather but we made over $175.00. It’s the last night for Music on Main but all the music events have been moved inside the various stores along the lower block of main street and the main event will be in the music hall at Muddy Creek.

So, Pat and decided we may as well close up at our usual time since there will be very little foot traffic on our end of the block.

Remnants for Ian are hitting NC today. We’ve had off and on light rain so far and breezy conditions with a high in the upper 40’s. Tonight winds can gust up to 50 mph and heavier rain may move in.

I was at the bookstore all day. We did have quit a few folks in all morning and until early afternoon. Mostly out of town folks in town for the weekend. Even with the horrid weather we at least made over $50.

Sunny, cool and windy today with highs in the low 60.

I drove over to Boone, NC this morning to Modern to get the oil changed, tired rotated, etc.

James was here when I arrived back home. I left again to go into town to pick up library books and pick up a few things at the grocery store. No milk that I buy but I have some in stock.

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

I spent the day at the bookstore. Moderately good day for sales and traffic for a Wednesday. Mostly out of town visitors up for the day.

Mostly cloudy today with highs in the low 70’s. Windy with gusts in the 20 mph range. Cold front coming through this afternoon may bring a shower or a storm with it.

I did the usual house cleaning chores this morning. Set out my fall table decorations in the foyer.

After lunch I drove over to a local auto repair shop to pick up Donna where she dropped her car off for tomorrow.

Back home doing a load of laundry and a load of towels.

Cloudy, cool, and drizzly this morning. Temperatures were in the upper 50’s but warmed up to the upper 60’s this afternoon when skies turned mostly sunny.

The bookstore was steady all day with lots of customers. We did break the $100 ceiling today. Lots of out town folks along with a few of our regulars.

Low this morning was in the low 40’s. High today is in the upper 60’s. Very windy this morning but just breezy this afternoon.

It was a slow day at the bookstore with both customers and sales. Pat and I spent the day straightening and organizing shelves where needed.

Sunny and around 70 degrees when I left for Winston this morning. Hot down there in the mid to upper 90’s.

A couple of weeks ago I went to Lowe’s in Galax, VA to pick up black oil sunflower seeds for the birds. I could only find the 20 lb pounds so picked up two knowing I was going to Winston today.

I stopped at the Lowe’s and they were completely out of sunflower seeds except the 5 lb bags. Went across the street to Home Depot and they only had the 20 lb so I picked up four more. Sunflower seed shortage; who would have guessed? Oh well, 20 lb bags are easier for me to handle putting in the metal trash can where I store it in the garage.

I treated myself to lunch at Zaxby’s then when on to my haircut appointment then back up the mountain. Temperatures are in the low 70’s and looks like it may have rained some. James had mowed my yard but not my neighbors. Now, the clouds have cleared and its windy so he’s mowing his now. Need to walk up when he finished and pay him.
