07 april, 2023 Wandering & Capturing Moments

    Did not get too cool last night.  In the 40s.  Warm today in the 60s.  We just missed being in the high wind area.  Great for us! 

    Mostly rested today.  Pain takes the life out of one.  Resting does not truly help but there is nothing else to do.  Nico helped.

    JR & I went out for supper.  I was almost out of fuel so I filled up.  That was an expensive venture!  The price is now atrocious!!!

    We went to Salina to eat at the Olive Garden.  They have a soup I love.  So I had the usual breadsticks & chicken gnocchi soup.  For my main dish I chose salmon.  That was the best salmon I have had!  Fried in butter & spices.  The soup is always great.  I enjoyed our meal out.

    We had not eaten in the Olive Garden since before the pandemic.  The prices about made me swoon!  Wow!!  Plus the price of fuel.  An expensive evening!

    Back in Lindsborg I took some photos of the pear trees & flowers.  My pear tree is actually blooming too.  Too dark for a good photo.  Will get one tomorrow.

    At home Nico & Cinder & I sat out.  But I got chilled with little sun & a small breeze.

    Photos are the pear trees, flowers, & supper.

    Easy to sleep when it is cool outside.  And with no wind it was easy to take Nico outside.

    I got up early to sweep the house before the AC repairman got here.  Got a new broom & it is much better than what I had.  Worked great!

    After lunch Cinder, Nico, & I sat outside.  For almost 2 hours.  It was nice.  They chased & sun bathed!  One little calf got out of the pasture.  He ended up on the other side of our tornado shelter.  I could not see him but Cinder was sitting on the edge of the shelter.  I wondered if she was watching the calf.  And she was!  Cute!  I hope he found his way back to his mom.  Last I saw he was headed down the driveway.

    My repairman finally called around 3pm.  Finally.  Nice guy & friendly.  Something came unhooked.  He hooked it back up & checked all the others.  Cold air again!!  Just in time!  Huge area of hot weather forecast for here part of next week.  I am sure all the summer loving people are enjoying knowing that I hate hot weather.  I will just stay home.  No need to be out in the heat & with others who are gloating.

    Rain is on the map for late next week.  Not holding my breath.

    Heard from a friend in the far west of Kansas.  She said it is too late for rain to help their wheat.  So sad.  And won't have food to feed the cattle.  Hard on the land to graze cattle on land when it is dry & windy.  I just hurt for them.  Hard times.

    The Bradford pear trees on town are blooming.  So pretty.  I have one photo to share from tonight.  I have a pear tree but not a Bradford.  Mine blooms later.  See how it does with no rain.

    JR & I ate at Jalisco's.  We both got orders with a burrito since it is National Burrito Day.

    My other photos are local ones ---- birds I fed, geese in a lake in McPherson, a local Dalahäst.  I took them all.
