Hmmm, it’s been pretty busy today but right now there is a lull. Quiet time. Weekends have been going very well. I almost don’t mind working every day for the past three weeks and looking forward to another two weeks straight. Today I have on my hiking sneakers and looking forward to a nice hike after work. It’s nice, at least that the store is only open for 4 hours - 11 am-3 pm so I get a little down time. This morning before I came in I sat on our front porch and enjoyed the day. A glorious perfect Vermont foliage day complete with blue sky. The trees are turning nicely this year.
Been selling a lot of books. Most of my general Vermont books are gone and I’m down to only one book of Robert Frost poetry. Yikes! Other holes are westerns, philosophy and sci fi is starting to look a little thin. Got to get busy.
So our book sale this weekend. Well, that was a bust. Even brought in Rusty but he spent the day sitting on one of our benches all day reading. That was, at least, good advertising since he was reading a used paperback. I was downstairs minding the store and I was busy. No sitting down and reading for me. I was on my feet running the cash register.
An hour left. No one has been in for oh, I’d say about an hour. Now it is tough to sit in here knowing how nice it is outside. You know what I think I’ll do? I’m going to close the back doors and go upstairs and sit on one of the benches until someone ventures in. Still counts as working right? Yeah, I’ll be reading. Picked up a copy of Thoreau’s “Walden.” Oh, I just finished “The Lady from Vermont” written about Dorothy Canfield Fisher. Wow! What a woman she was - an inspiration.
