Today was a good day but did not turn out like I wanted. Not a bad day though.
Perfect weather. Had neither heat or AC on. Perfect. And I slept in bed. My back is achy after the other nite on the sofa.
Driving down the driveway I noticed that there was water that flowed over my drive. The gravel had moved a lot. I think all the cattle in my south pasture are now on summer pasture. I had 4 bulls in the pasture north of my driveway & I forgot to check to see if they are there or gone.
JR & I decided to drive to Salina for their Cruise Santa Fe. That is the main street through town. All these old old cars come & they drive up & down the street. Two years ago we joined the parade in my new car. It was fun. Took tons of photos. But this year there was no one there. We drove by where they started & there were maybe 5 old cars parked there. Later we drove by again & maybe 5 more cars were there. So disappointing but with the price of fuel not surprising. Here it is $4.19. Takes me over $50 when I fill on empty. Plus it is a fund raiser for some great places but on top of that much fuel would be tough.
We did drive around. Had read of some murals painted on the back of some buildings that face Santa Fe. Wow! They were wonderful. Go back on a sunday to take photos. No place to park.
We wanted to go to the Olive Garden for supper. Parking lot was full. I had my heart set on a soup they serve. Another night. Ended up at Big Cheese. The best pizza anywhere. Sooo good.
On the way to Salina in a tiny town called Bridgeport the one side of an old barn has huge sunflowers painted on it. Need to find a place to park for a photo of it. Really nice.
We gave up Jalisco's for Salina tonight. I texted JS & he did not seem upset at all. Well, I did not want him to worry. But sometimes he does worry so just in case.
Had one turkey vulture in my back yard. Night before last when I got home he was sitting out in the rain.
Cinder has started coming to get loving when Nico is outside. She walks over to me on the railing so we can be close. Sweet kitty.
Photos tonight are all Kansas wildflowers. I took all the photos. Need to start driving home on the back roads to see what is blooming.
