Sunny, breezy, and warm today with highs in the upper 70’s. I had another 2 inches of rain overnight bringing the last few days total to around 5 inches. Still in drought in conditions but less severe. May get a scattered storm tonight.

Not a very busy day with customers but a very busy work day. Joyce and I spent a good part of the day clearing up a lot of the donation stuff in the back room. It is looking a little better though there are still a lot of boxes left to process.

More light rain over night and this morning giving us another half inch. The sun has come out this afternoon making it warm and humid with highs in the low 70’s.

I went to the gym this morning. Not crafting this afternoon. Donna is taking care of one of her dogs that had pups a few days ago. I changed and washed the sheets and did a few other household things instead.

We had two inches of rain over night. Today has been cool with more rain off and on most of the day with highs in the low 60’s.

A great two days at the store. Between yesterday and today we make over $600.00 dollars. Lots of folks in town for weekend.

Tonight we went back to The Cellar to celebrate their three year anniversary of being open. They had a great band and some light food. A wonderful addition to Sparta.

Warm, sunny, and breezy today with highs in the low to mid 80’s. Looks like some clouds are forming over the mountains so perhaps we will getting some much needed rain tonight.

Slow at the store this morning but things picked up this afternoon. We did not make $100.00 but we did have a decent day in sales. Mostly out of town folks up for the day.

Warm and breezy with highs in the low 80’s and lots of sunshine. We are still in dire need of rain.

I did not go to the gym today. My computer guy came first thing this morning to help with a couple of things on my laptop. After he left I tackled three projects I wanted to get done in the yard. I finished those up around lunch time. After shower and lunch I went to Donna’s for the usual crafting afternoon.

Sunny and warm with highs in the upper 70’s and a slight breeze.

A busy day yesterday and today at the store. Friday we worked on a couple of big donations in between customers and did over $100.00 in sales. Today we were slow this morning but things picked up this afternoon. We did over $200.00 today. So, a nice weekend for the store. Mostly out of town folks in for the day or the weekend.

Mostly sunny with highs in the low 70’s but breezy.

A couple of big sales saved the day at the store that would have otherwise been a not very good day monetarily. However, it was a busy physical day changing the window and the front table and processing a bin of donations from the back.

A nice steady but light rain most of the morning. Not much in the way of precipitation but we will take what we can get. At least it watered the grass and the flowers. Cloudy and chilly the rest of the day. Temperatures did not make it out of the 50’s.

Gym and a couple of errands in town then back home for lunch. Donna’s this afternoon for crafting.

Mostly sunny and breezy today with highs in the upper 60’s. It has been a cool May so far but very windy.

Yesterday was busy at the store and we did over $200.00 thanks to one of our regular customers who does a lot of buying. Today was pretty quiet for a Saturday. We came close to $100.00 anyway.

Off and on showers between bouts of sunshine but not nearly enough to ease the drought situation. I shopped for plants yesterday morning and spent a couple of hours getting everything planted in the ground and in various planters and hanging pots. Temperatures stayed in the 60’s most of the day.

Not a busy day at the store. We had a few customers off and on this morning. I  had donations from the back to work on.
