01 may, 2023 Wandering & Capturing Moments

    May is finally here.  Closer to winter!!   Warm today - 71F but 32F last night.  No breeze at all.  Nice outside.  Sat out with Nico & Cinder this evening.  Very pleasant.

    Slept ok last night.  Cinder was extra snuggly.  Wonder why?  She was the other night also.  Very nice.

    Nico went to the animal hospital this afternoon to have his nails clipped.  I was way late to have them done!!  He minds so good there.  Why not at home??

    Then JR & I had pizza at Pizza Hut.  It was extra good tonight.  Different crust & lots of cheese.  We did have one very funny moment.  I unrolled my napkin to get my fork.  But to my surprise I had no fork but 4 knives!  What a hoot!  Our waiter thought he had given us silverware which he did.  But someone had just one job to do.......  He was glad we laughed.  He said some people would not have laughed.  Then glad it happened to us.  There is a photo to show them later!  Made my day!

    Got home & put Nico & Cinder out.  They did not have a lot of energy to play.  Probably too warm.  But the liked to see each other.

    I have trash pick up tomorrow.  I carried out 5 bags full.  Only one was heavy.  No problem.  I rested outside between loads & after I was done.

    House got too warm.  AC on now.  Feeling better.  Could not sleep at night if it was this warm.  Cold is better.

    Our world is such a mess.  Five killed in Texas, 6 bodies found in Oklahoma, dust storm with deaths, tornados, & what next?  I am grateful for calmness here.

    Photos are all about May Day.  Silverware.

                    

29 april, 2023 Wandering & Capturing Moments

    I am just sad today.  I knew that I would never be part of my granddaughter's family forever, but I miss them.  And I miss her.  But they have real family & no time for me.  She got nice weather for her wedding.  I will survive.  Wish her happiness & just to have one wedding not a string of them. 

    Sort of a cool night last night but far too warm today.  I saw 82F here today.  Had a light breeze too.  Sat out several times with Nico.  Cinder was asleep.  She is out now & turned down an invitation to come in.

    There is a crack in the cement of my carport.  I have antlions that live there.  They fascinate me.  They burrow backwards into the ground to make a funnel type trap in the dirt.  They lay in wait there for for ants, etc. to fall into it.  And then they are eaten.  Found a few great vidoes.  Glad they are tiny & harmless to pets & people!!  I like to watch & see how many there are.  The most I have seen is 5.  I actually saw one funnel being built today.  Very cool.  They only live for 25 days.  Obviously I need to get a life!!

    Took a nice nap & felt exhausted tonight.  So took another one.  Probably wedding blues.  My Swedish genes will help me survive.

    The farm is sure lonesome here.  Most of the cattle & calves have gone to pasture for the summer.  How I miss them.  Little ones are so fun to watch play.  Hope there is enough grass to eat in our drought.

    Our niece shared a video being on top of the hill in Willie's pasture.  I remember being there but years ago.  When his mind went he quit taking me anywhere for any reason.  But I remember.  Those days are over.  I will never be there again.  So glad I sold the farm to our nephew.  He will make our name one to be proud of.  Great guy!

    I went to Salina for groceries at Dillons.  They are the best.  Worth the drive.  Just hate carrying it all in!!  Soo heavy!!

    Tomorrow is May Day.  As a kid I remember making little baskets of flowers & hanging on our neighbour's door.  I do not every remember getting a May basket as a kid or adult.  I maybe did but have no recollection of it.  A cool thing to do.

    Photos are some I took.
