Mostly sunny with temperatures in the low to mid 70’s and humid. We had a brief shower around midday. Maybe some showers or thunderstorms popping up this evening.

A good day at the store. Several big donations. A steady flow of customers off and on most of the day. We did make over $100.00.

A new “cakery”has opened next door to us. She makes lovely cakes, cupcakes, and assorted nice desserts. She is bringing a lot of traffic to our end of the block and to the bookstore. A lovely addition to our main street.

Cloudy with a few light rain showers this morning. Partly cloudy this afternoon with a chance for another off and on rain shower with temperatures in the low 70”s and breezy.

I went to the gym this morning. Bonnie arrived around noon to have lunch and walk around town. She is on the way to Laurel Springs, about thirty minutes west of here, for a week at dulcimer camp. She just left a few minutes ago.

This afternoon chores; changing and washing sheets and doing some first of the month bill paying.

Mostly sunny, breezy, and cool today. Temperatures in the upper 60’s with gusty winds at times.

Busy day at the store. It was half price paperbacks and Music on Main starting at five so we stayed open until 7:30. A long day but we made over $200.00. A couple of donations but mostly just helping customers and selling books. A lot of out of town folks plus a few regulars.

Low 60’s when I left for Winston this morning.

Of course, had to run a couple of errands before meeting the girls from the Firm for lunch. Then on to my Pam’s for a haircut then headed back up the mountain. It’s only in the low 70’s here but warmer down the mountain though it was cool enough down there to enjoy eating lunch outside.

Mostly sunny today with gusty winds. Low this morning in the 60’s but it has warmed up into the low 70’s.

A moderately busy day at the store. Almost made $100.00. Mostly out of town folks today. Worked on a small donation and filled some empty shelves with backlog copies.

We had a fairly fierce thunderstorm last evening with high winds, lots of lightening and thunder and almost two inches of rain in an hour. After it passed through we just had more rain the rest of the night and into this morning. Looks like it may be clearing up. Highs in the mid 70’s with blustery winds.

I went to the gym then back home. Not a good day to work outside so I will do a few projects indoors and have a relaxing day.

Mostly sunny and warm today with highs in the low 70’s and humid. We had a brief shower early this afternoon but the sun came back out.

A busy day at the store. I have been holding down the fort this weekend with Pat on vacation and our backup volunteer under the weather. We did over $200.00 today. Busy most of the day with a couple of brief slow periods. Lots of folks in town for the holiday weekend along with a few of our regular customers.

Mostly sunny with temperatures in the upper 70’s and breezy. We had a short rain shower early afternoon downtown but not sure if rained here. The rain gauge did not show any measurable precipitation. May get some more rain this evening.

A moderately busy day at the store. Did not break $100.00 but still had a good day in sales. Had several small donations come in to work on off and on during the day.

A beautiful sunny day with highs in the low to mid 70’s and light winds.

I went to the gym then back home to work outside. Trimmed back the white quince to keep it small after the major trimming a few months ago. Weeded the two beds along the porch and cut back the bleeding heart that had finished blooming. Moved a few clumps of stone crop to a spot at the far edge of porch to get it started and another one out by the driveway.

I have a few things to do here at the computer this afternoon and the usual kitchen chores.

Sunny and warm this morning. Early afternoon the clouds rolled in along with off and on rain showers until the big thunderstorms fired up. Temperatures dropped down into the low 60’s once they started. More storms on the way for this evening.

We were very busy this morning with lots of out of town folks and a few regulars. This afternoon things slacked off especially after the storms started. We did make over $100.00 so a good day all around.
