The dalahäst at the Old Mill.



Today's Name Day:  Matilda,  Maud
Matilda is a familiar name.  I have a nice friend in Sweden named Maud.  She has been in Lindsborg many times.  And I have been at her home in Sweden too.

    Had a good day.  Started with meeting MM at the White Peacock.  I ate lunch.  Did not want to cook at home.  They were super busy.
    When he left he went to look at a house on Main Street.  His house has been sold so he must move.  The house he looked at he likes.  And it is now his.  Cool.  I will drive by it every time I work at the Mill.  Nice.
    This afternoon I worked at the Old Mill.  And dozens of tiny photos.  The scanner was a major pain.  If I got lucky I might get to scan 2 photos in a row.  Most of the time I was rebooting the scanner between photos.  I got done with all the photos that had no names on them.  Next week I start dozens of tiny photos with names.  I did get those sorted by size.  Hoping for more interesting photos when done with all these from a local school.
    It was quite warm today.  But I froze in the basement at the Mill.  My house is freezing to me also.  Tomorrow we start warm, then 50 mph winds come here & in the afternoon our temperature is 35F.  Colder overnight.
    When I went to lunch the llamas were near my yard.  I got a photo of one.  The other was mixed in with the cows.
    Called KN to see if he was the one to fix my tipped over trash bins.  He was the one.  They will blow again tomorrow.
    I tried to take a nap at home but I could not sleep.
    Photos today are a mix.














Love this.  Awesome!!


Sweet.

03/2026 - Fredag den 13:e - MY JOURNEY

 




Had a good Friday the 13th.


Today's Name Day:  Greger
Known a Greg or two.

    Had a good day.  Got a bit tired at the end of my working day.  Weather played havoc with my RA today.  Pain kept increasing all day.  No bueno.  And nothing helped me feel better.
    Started my day at the White Peacock for lunch with LL.  Had good food & good conversation.  The Old Mill has finally hired a new director.  Great decision.  Someone from Lindsborg with lots of experience in managing & writing grants.  I am hopeful!!
    I then worked at SVAFC.  MH opened  it around 30 minutes early.  Someone came in right away.  Not a lot of visitors today but a few.  I never had time to get tired.  But I did.
    Supper for JR & I was at Jalisco's.  Fun to see & chat with MA, MS, & AJTR.  They were busy but not swamped.  They made me laugh!!!
    I tried to take a nap when I got home.  And I was sleeping so nicely.  And my alarm went off early.  I was clueless. I accidently set a timer for one & a half hour.  Duh.  Short nap.
    Before I went to town this morning there was a feral cat in my driveway.  I got. a nice photo of him.  I am sharing him tonight.  He was grey.
    There is a lady I have seen twice recently.  She kind of looked familiar but not sure who she is.  She even called me by my name.  The worker at the Peacock who took my money who also looks familiar  told me they were her parents.  And they were the original owners of the Peacock,  Of Course!!!  And their daughter is an artist & I own 2 of her paintings.  Glad she is back.  I thought that is who she is.
    I hate the weather here.  Extra warm tomorrow.  Usch.  Sunday it starts warm but by afternoon it is down to 35F with 50mph winds again.  Usch.  Then next thursday our temperature is 80-90F.  Double Usch.  Heat, humidity, & more bugs.  😱. The weatherman on the tv is driving me crazy.  He needs to shut up.  Too giddy about it being hot.
    Photos are from one author.  I just ordered one of his books.  Cool.  And some photos from lunch.
