National Mutt Day

Both of these 2 dogs of ours are "mutts".  Or mixed breed dogs.  We loved them lots.

Today's Name Day: Elin, Helena

    What a day!!!  Not at all what I expected.  Ended up ok but getting there was interesting.

    Today was a work day.  I started on folder "E" and I finished it by quitting time!!! YAY!!!  Folder ""F" on friday!

    But during the day we had visitors that reported a swarm of bees in one of our trees.  Called a known bee keeper & he came to check them out.  And then he removed them. I have photos to share at the end of my blog.

    While working someone got royally upset with me on Lindsborg Now.  I explained I was at work  had not thoroughly read the offending post & he was right that it was offensive.  I apologised. I removed it & gave the person who posted it a warning that the next time I would ban them.  Not a good way to settle a problem.  There is always something or someone.  The person who texted me thanked me so all is well there.

    Supper was Mexican & snow cone for dessert.  About halfway done with our cones, the severe weather hit.  YIKES!!!  The wind came in & scared me a lot!!!  I have been in a tornado before that almost destroyed our home.  We had to run for cover.  I got injured.  The trees bent over.  The air was full of lots of dirt & leaves & sticks & got knows what swirling around.  The car rocked!!  That was awful.  I kept quiet.

    When we left a fire truck was going out of town.  We thought to the south but the fire is east of town.  Maybe they were going to arrive at the fire in a different dirrection.  Someone wrote it was a huge fire.  With this wind that is really scary.

    I drove by the Old Mill to check on our Swedish Pavilion that is structurely unsound.  When I left town is was standing with nothing blowing off of it.  We are raising money to repair it.  At almost half there.  But we worry.  I called my boss to report to her.

    I drove home & it was fairly quiet.  No signs of rain or branches down.  Got home & Cinder headed outside.  BUT.  I did not hear the rain start. When I did I checked on Cinder.  It is pouring down!!!  She was hiding on the porch.  I had to move all sorts of stuff around to open a path for her to the door.  All the while I got soaked!!!  Water got on my scalp & ran down my face.  Lovely.  Need to shut the AC down.  It is 66F outside & after being 100 earlier.  Have to grab my second blanket when I go to bed.  Good sleeping!!

    That is all the excitement I have to share.  That is enough!!!

                            

My coworkers & the bee keeper looking at the swarm.  That is my white car!!!

These are the bees.  😱

This is the bee keeper.  He would brush bees into the box & take them away.  By the time he got back those that flew away were back.  Repeated this 3-4 times.  Lucky to have him.
