Scenes from my front yard on our first snow.  Foot print is a mailman.

Today's Name Day:  Oskar, Ossian, Beata, Beatrice

Have a cousin in Järvsjö Sweden named Oskar.  A Swedish lady Beata Sydhoff was here at Bethany College years ago.  Saw her often.  One of the very few times I got to know any of the Swedes that come here..  Usually only the elite people were included.  In no way am elite on any level..

    Had an ok day.  Alone as usual.  Only heard from JL & NC.  But in good news JR's phone is now normal.  He finally figured out to turn everything off & then back on.  Now it all works.   Great!!!  We have chatted.

    Was chilly today but better than yesterday.  I got really warm overnight for some unknown reason.  I took my weighted blanket off.  Of course I eventually got cold again.  Pulled it back up again. 

    Checked for mail tonight before supper.  No mail but a sweet deer almost in my yard.  We had eye contact with each other.  It was not scared.  The deer usually cross my drive after visiting out pond down where it floods.  No idea why this one was so close.  A nice moment though.

    Weather tomorrow is high winds but no snow or anything.  Far western Kansas will have a chance for snow.

    I got brave & looked to see how much property taxes I owe.  I think it is higher this year.  I almost passed out!!!!  Have to pay by the end of this december.  Hope I have it in one bank at least.  Others expect money from me but not sure I have any thing else.  My taxes come first.

    Photos are a mix.  I even have them sorted.

When Cinder was dumped out here she lived under my house.  This was her entrance,  After the day she was lost all day until after 1am she moved inside full time.  She returned terrified of something.  Asked to go out twice after her scary time but only managed a couple of steps each time.  Asks no more.  I am relieved.

Today's Name Day:  Leopold

    Had my usual day off with no work.  Just hanging out alone.  Get tired of seeing others have groups & fun.  I have no support group of family or friends.  Just me.  Oh well.

    Slept good & no blood sugar troubles.  For a change.

    Ordered another blood sugar kit since the one I have has no way to order more supplies.  It came today.  Who knows if I will get another sensor.  Tuesday will tell.  I trust no one anymore.  I believe no one anymore.

    Had an email from JL.  MM sent me one text.  He looked to have a good weekend but says he was just working.  Whatever.

    Had a text from CW asking how I am.  Have his days settled so I can go eat & see him.  I miss him.  Wish we were closer.

    I had a nice nap.  Too short.  But no problem.  Had a large box of mail to deal with ---- cat food mostly.

    Warm today.  Too warm.  But made for a cozy nap.  Cooler tomorrow or monday.  I cannot remember.  The weather man still mentions a tiny chance of snow or rain around Thanksgiving.  I don't care.  I was hoping for meeting for a meal but I doubt.  I asked & got no answer or interest.  Maybe I should push for an answer but hate to force anyone.

    I sat outside for a while.  And there was a mid size deer crossing my drive way on his way home after visiting my pond.  Cool.  See deer often doing that.

    The other day I had gotten mail & turned to go back home & a very large bird with extra long legs fly over my driveway.  I read the whooping cranes have been seen at a game preserve west of here.  I am sure what I saw.  Probably needed a drink.  Very cool..  They are headed to Texas I think for the winter.

    Photos today are seasonal.

National Day of the Cowboy

I am not a particular fan of western stuff but this photos reminds me of Utah.  Love the land there.  Would love to return.

Today's Name Day: Marta

    A nice day at home.  No plans plus I slept pretty good & had a nice nap.  Both cats were lazy & did not wake me up early.

    I had things I wanted to do but no energy.  And too much pain.  So I rested.

    MM wrote to me & said he bring me supper tonight.  He works at the American Legion.  Last night they had a Swedish meal.  I really wanted to go but was afraid I would end up going alone & sitting alone.  I am not a member & not really friends with anyone who is.  But he brought me food from there.  Excellent.  Swedish meatballs, potatis skorv, potatoes, green beans.  I added a pudding cup.  And lingonberries on the meat balls,  Excellent meal!!

    MM & I had a long texting session last night.  We were honest & open with each other.  I treasure moments like that.  I am so grateful he lives close,  Not many people I can depend on but he is one.

    Weather was ok today.  Saw 93F for our high.  Last nice day for a week.  Tuesday & Wednesday are to be 110F.  Yikes!!  I am more than ready for autumn.

    When MM called & said he would be here soon, I went outside to sit with Cinder.  I know how much she misses Cinder to be with.  So she stayed close to me. I gave her lots of petting & she gave it back.  She climbed & ran.  And stretched out.  I took photos the entire time.  Those are my photos tonight

    While sitting outside a deer came running from the north, across my driveway, & south to our pond.  I was hoping it would come back but never did.  I got no photo.  Usually there is a couple together.  He was not too big,  And while out a turkey vulture flew over Cinder & I.  Huge shadow!!!  Probably hoping we were dying!!!  What a buffet for them!
