Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 206....

 I did not sleep until 7am. Makes for a great night. But I was sick last night so probably ok. I did have a couple of friends who have been ill also. I had many of the same symptoms. And combined with my flu shot which did not help. But I ate lunch today without problems. Maybe I am better. Just had supper. See how that sits. 


This site has now done a remake. I hate it. Cannot find what I want. Why do sites do this? It was fine. Now I am frustrated.


I have 2 little sparrows who each have a corner under my carport every night. The female had been doing it for a couple of years. Or birds from the same family. Today when I went out with Nico, they were both still under the roof but sitting next to each other. They looked at me and did not care. Sort of a sweet moment. Wonder when they will head south? 


I live in the Smoky Valley. When you get up on top of one of our hills and  look down the air is a blue haze. This morning across the road from my farm the wheat field had a blue haze. We have smoke here again. They say our air quality is not good


I cancelled my errands for today. Too tired and too scared of getting sick in the car. Not sure about tomorrow. Maybe supper out. See how I feel over night.


Photos today are of Chester, Nebraska. Oh, the memories I have from there. When Willie was a trucker we ate in Chester at Foote Cafe often. Good home cooking. It was a truck stop. Then they rerouted the highway and it sure hurt all the little towns. Foote is still open and I would love to go back to eat there. Oh, I miss those days on the open road with Willie. And the 2 other drivers. We had lots of laughs. Life was good then.


Also photos of a church and and old school in Chester. It said Art School but we could not find any info on that.

The Plague, Day 137......

Extra quiet day. Had stormy weather last night. No idea how much rain but it rained hard for a while. Lots of lightning but not too much thunder. Strong winds for a while. Then a break but the rain started this morning and is still coming down. Not super heavy but not light either. I cannot get to my rain gauge. Big water puddle. Will try tomorrow. And has stayed in the 60s all day. Perfect day for me. Cool, cloudy, rainy or foggy. Ahhhh.

I got next to no sleep last night so I napped today off and on. I had no plans so no problem. No where to go, no one to meet.

I have shared so many flower photos lately and some maybe tired of them. Today I share photos from Gilead Nebraska. Named after a hymn. A very pretty hymn. It is east off of Highway 81 on Highway 136. Next town is Fairbury. There was a nice park and a basketball area I did not share. I hope to return to attend church there and eat there. It may only have 39 people but the town is neat as a pin ---- even the abandoned buildings. Cannot say that for many little towns I know.







Cafe here.
