 Today's Name Day is Vendela

    Had an ok day.  Slept pretty good.  So did Nico.  But he scared me this morning.  He was all stretched out asleep.  I petted & shook him but nothing.  When I called his name he woke up.  Not ready for the inevitable.  His eyes are not good.  Makes me so sad.  I am a terrible mom to him.  None of this should have happened to him.  I am sooo sorry.

    Took a short nap.  Drinking my power drinks yesterday did not bother my sleep much.

    JR & I got our Covid booster shots.  The text I get from a medical site that has said there is no or little flu/Covid here.  But yesterday they said there is more here now.  Glad we got our shots.  Had it once.  That is enough.

    We had supper at Jalisco's.  They got very busy then they all left.  When we left it was filling up again.

    It was cooler today.  With heavy fog this morning again.  This morning was perfect.  Calm winds & clouds.  Cattle near my yard.  No chance of rain from now through next week.  Too dry.  And not getting better.  Driving on the dirt roads are just awful.  So much dirt flying that I cannot see if I am meeting one car or more.

    At JR's house we found a HUGE leaf!!  No idea what tree it came from.  I photographed it.  Worked out great as my photos for tonight are photos of leaves I have taken.  My trees are losing leaves but no pretty colors.  Losing from the drought.

National Hug a Bear Day 😊

Today's Name Day is Ingegerd

    I am in little better mood today.  No tears.  Weather is still irritating my RA.  Lots of pain but I can walk better.

    Nico must feel better today.  I think he is losing his eye sight.  I was told this might happen.  I ordered some medical liquid from Amazon.  Surely won't hurt him.  Have a vet who cannot help him hurts the most.  Even if it helps just a little that will be nice.  Get it tomorrow.

    Nico & I sat outside for a long time this afternoon.  Cinder was a with us.  I took dozens of photos of them together.  They will be special later on.  Got some nice ones.  I used Baazart to remove Nico's leash.  Makes for nicer photos.  He used to go outside without a leash but he at some point of he started running off & would not mind me or come back.  I was always outside but did not matter.  Now there are just too many dangerous things out there --- bob cats, big dogs, coyotes, even mountain lions nearby.  Or the cattle if he roams in the pasture.

    After lunch today I went to Falun to vote.  Sort of a waste of time.  Voting on school board.  I only knew one of them.  And one had no address.  How can you run for the school board with no address?  Sheesh.  Took me less than 10 minutes to vote.

    Pretty nice weather.  Warm with a nice breeze. Cooling off tonight & then cooler weather is here.  We have around 0% chance of rain this week.  Nice.  I had not emptied my rain gauge for a while.  I need to look more often! There was 3 inches in it!!!  Had more than I realized.

    Cinder stayed home last night.  Saved me a panic attack!  Came in to sleep in "her" recliner!!  First time in she was in bed with me.

    A couple of days ago I had someone who  had common ancestors with me.  Back in the 1500s.  That is rather special.  To find someone connected to me that long ago.  Even though a long long time ago, I am still part of them.  And they are part of me.  Very cool.  And I always learn something about that time in the world or country or both.  Learning is always good.

    I heard from both grandsons & photos of my great grandson.  That always make my heart swell!  He is so special!  I am so lucky.

    Photos today are of Swedish tomtes & most are Christmassy photos.  Love them.  I wanted something light hearted.
