21 september, 2022 Wandering & Capturing Moments

    Super day.  Peaceful & cool outside.  Need lots of days like this!  Temps are good.  I think during the night it was in the 80s & then dropped when the cold front arrived here.  Before my rest period it was 77.  Right now it is 59F.  Windy this afternoon & now.  Loving the weather!!!

    Last night there was a flicker in my tree.  A large woodpecker.  Cool to see.  This afternoon I saw a blue heron out by my pond.  Huge wings.

    I think Nico has been preparing for cooler weather.  He is under my blankets more than he is on top.  Adding a second blanket tonight.  And maybe a winter nightgown.  Will be hard to get up tomorrow.

    Today was a work day but the board or someone was using the archive area where I work so I could not go in.  I could go in tomorrow but I already an app't in Salina.  I would barely get there when I would have to leave & then no time to go back.  I am not happy I already had plans.  Phooey.

    Supper was at Jalisco's.  They got sort of busy & lots of takeout meals.  Good conversation.  CT always makes sure to say Hola & Adios.  He is special.  JS was ornery.  He always makes me smile & laugh.  I even got a hug tonight.

    My friend in Morocco video chatted with me a couple of nights ago.  He was walking home.  It was mostly dark.  I like seeing where he lives.  I like seeing him.  We had a nice visit.

    Nico got his yearly shots yesterday.  He was really slow last night.  Sort of like me after my Covid shot or flu shot.  He ate late.  Went out twice to potty & he could not.  He laid close to me & slept.  Today he is normal.

    Photos are some Swedish ones & cloud ones from tonight.  Looks like rain but I am not holding my breath.

                        

27 august, 2022 Wandering

    Last night was a 1000% better!!!  I went to sleep early & went back to sleep after having Nico outside.  And less pain.  It was welcomed.  Today my allergies are much worse.  No fun.

    My cousin, ND, has been around here taking care of her granddaughter. Today she left for home & stopped for lunch with JR & I.  We met at Jalisco's.  Not busy today.  Wonder what changes from day to day.  Interesting.  It was fun to see her & visit.  I miss Denver & want to go back.

    After she left for home, I went to the Red Barn to see my artist friend, RG.  He goes home tomorrow.  We had a nice visit.  And I got to see the work he has done while here.  I am lucky to have several of his works.  He sent me one after Willie died.  It was of a strong woman & he says I am a strong woman.  I have no choice anymore.

    There was rain west of us all night.  Moved so slow.  Never got here.  I checked before ND left & it had grown.  I got home & it was wet here but none in town.  I laid down to rest & heard a shower then.  Now there is rain headed here.  A surprise.  See if we get something.  It was warmer last night at 73F.  Our high was 86F.  When the clouds & rain came to my house the temp dropped to 69F.  No wonder I felt cold!!  I sat out with Nico a bit ago.  It is 74F out now.  Feels chilly & wonderful!!  If it could just last!!

    The squirrels have started harvesting acorns off my tree.  We have quite a few on it considering our weather.  They have a routine they go through.  They pick one in the tree & chew the shell off.  Then they run across my roof to the other side of the house & run down a tree there.  They bury the seed near that tree.  Then later in the day the dig up all the acorns they can find to rebury further away from my house.  Busy little guys!!

    Cinder here most of the day & so was the black cat.  I gave her food but he most likely hogged it all.  Will try again later & sit out while she eats.

    When I left Jalisco's CT & I went through our routine of saying goodbye & him asking when I would return.  I told him tomorrow!!  He was all excited!!  Three days in a row!!  Nice someone is excited to see me!!!
