Today's Name Day:  Iris

Years ago I worked with a lady named Iris.  Only Iris I have known.

    Another quiet & alone day.  Had one email & one text.  Feeling ok.

    Weather was cooler today.  High was around 55F.  And some wind.  The rain they were forecasting continues to move further away from here.  Settling in Oklahoma more than Kansas.  The weather guys are just joyful for more 70s.  Too early for warm weather.  And now they are announcing how many days until spring gets here.  Missing my winter but no one cares.  Just me.

    Temperatures tonight will be below freezing so I will leave some water dripping.  Do not want even one day without water.

    I sat outside briefly.  A bit chilly.  No birds or cattle or deer.  Quiet outside.  Did not stay out long.

    KN was supposed to move boxes out of my yard today.  Maybe tomorrow.  Maybe too busy today.

    My great niece is selling donuts for their high school soft ball team.  I put my order in today.  I think I got donuts last year also.

    Photos are like usual.  Nothing special.

Caught him at the right time!

Today's Name Day:  Fanny,  Franciska

My best friend had a sweet tiny dog name Franciska & we called her Franny.  I miss her & him.  Those were the best days for me.

    Had a quiet day.  Had planned on lunch with a friend but both of us were not feeling the best.  Will meet later.

    Far too warm today..  Our high was 78F.  I did sit outside for a while this afternoon.  I carried trash out & opened new mail.  Then KN drove through the yard checking on cattle.  We had a nice visit.   He will try to load boxes up for trash.  Too many there now.  I try not to complain.

    Nice to get some trash bags outside.  Forgot some in the back of the house. Another day.  Plus need to move boxes from the porch or inside the house.  If only I felt good with no pain.  And could walk ok.  I worried about carrying the. trash to the trash bins.  But I could throw them closer.  Nothing in them to rip the bags open.  I learned that the hard way.

    Weather has rain in the forecast.  On friday & saturday.  I do not care.  Home both days.  Others who celebrate with someone special can be upset.  No hearts or flowers or candy in my future.

    Photos are many with cats.  Just like them.

                                                    

            

    

10/2025 - Martes the 14th - MY JOURNEY

 

This was yesterday.  A day late in sharing it.  I have some Canadian friends.

Today's Name Day:  Stellan

Have a friend in Sweden with this name.

    Had a pretty good day.  Slept ok.  Could be better but could be a lot worse.

    Had lunch planned with MM & CW.  But CW had to do something with his father.  I made sure to get a nice photos of MM & I just to make him feel guilty!!!  Will meet another time with him.

    Lunch was at the Sale BARn.  All the help were very nice today.  And even called me by name.  The owner had some yummy chocolate candy to share.

    I am learning that I cannot eat much.  Really upsets my stomach.  Hope that gets better.

    Had a short nap when I got home.  Cinder snuggled & Kisse stayed close.  

    After my nap I organised my mail on my porch.  Should have done that sooner.  I had Pepsi in one of the boxes.  Dang.  I was wanting that!!!  Should have enough for a while now.  Great!!!

    Had rain this morning.  As usual my area was on the short side.  Always.  But it stayed cool all day.  Like that.

    My weatherman is all excited about the cool temps ending & more heat on the way.  Stupid.  There is one day at 80.  Then cools off & rains.

    CW's sister had her dog go missing.  They put out several ads & photos.  Plus offered money.  Nothing.  That upset me for her.  I pretty much assumed something bad happened to her dog.  Then suddenly yesterday the dog came home on its own.  No idea where he has been.  What a relief!!!

    Hope sowing wheat gets over soon.  My boxes are growing too fast.  MM cannot drive & is going out of town soon.  Maybe I should order a large trash bin.  Maybe I could move them on my own.  Pretty much no one who can or wants to help.  MM it is.  KN makes sure to help when he can.  I hate to bother others.  My short list of backups.  Lucky me.  I used to have more help but more have dwindled out & are no longer interested in what I need or can do.  I have never imagined being so alone in my life.

    My DNA on Ancestry.com has changed.  Fun to see where I have ancestors from.  Some new places  ---- different parts of England, different parts of Scotland & Ireland, Finland, Belgium, & Luxemborg.  Very interesting.  Few of my relatives care.  Maybe someone in the future will care.  I try not to bore anyone who is not interested.  If I do sometimes I get made fun of.  I remember a neighbour lady was related to the royalty of Luxemborg but never talked about that.  Now they are all gone.  No one left to care.

    Photos are mostly autumn ones.  Fun.

 

Kansas Prairie

Where my blog is at least looked at.  More than usual.  Have friends on SnapChat from Malaysia.  Might be some.
