Another beautiful day here in the mountains. The low this morning was in the upper 50’s. It’s warmed up this afternoon into the upper 70’s with lot of sunshine and a breeze. Not much in the way of rain over the next few days but the cool temperatures are here to stay for awhile.

I went to the gym this morning and stopped by the grocery store on the way home. Picked up the usual milk, lettuce, and juice along with some odds and ends for the pantry.

This afternoon while James mowed I watered all the flowers and did some dead heading. Did not bother pulling weeds and grass today.

Spent some time here at the computer doing some banking stuff and writing some first of the month checks.

A beautiful day with temperatures in the mid 70’s, lots of sunshine, low humidity.

I left for Winston around 9:15 this morning. Weather was actually not too bad down there. Temperatures in the mid 80’s and not too humid.

I had my annual mammogram and physical with the PA. Doctor Pollard passed away a couple of years ago so I just stayed with seeing the PA. She is wonderful and if an issue were to arise she can refer me back to one of the doctors in the practice.

After I finished up there I headed back up the mountain.

We had a brief shower last night with about a half inch of rain. Today was a crazy weather day. Sunny this morning with a high in the upper 70’s. Then from around 1 pm until now it would cloud up and pour down rain. Then the sun came out for a few minutes. Then cloud up an pour down rain again. So far, I’ve had maybe half an inch here at the house.

I just got home from being at the store all day. We were busy off and on until around 3 then we were very busy until closing time. We did break the $100 ceiling.

Frances and Al are on their way up.

Partly cloudy with temperatures in the mid 70’s.

I went to the gym this morning then stopped by the library to return and pick up books. Back home, I dead headed flowers and pulled grass and weeds. I pulled up a couple of marigold plants that have died out in the middle. Otherwise, the rest of the in ground plants and pots are still looking good.

This afternoon a few odds and end chores in the house.

Mostly sunny today with a high in the upper 70’s and a bit humid. Chance of storms this evening.

I was at the store all day. We did just barely top out the $100 ceiling. Not a lot of people in but we had several big sales that made up the difference.

I went to the gym this morning than the grocery store. Found a couple of “2 for’s” on things I buy. Stopped to get gas then home. Never did rain yesterday though it looked like it off on in the afternoon so I watered the big pots.

Need to change the sheets and wash those this afternoon and do a few things here at my desk.
