Historical Stave church in Norway.

Today's Name Day:  Alfhild, Alva

    Cancelled today.  Pain & no sleep.  Cancelled tomorrow also.  But I have terrible guilt feelings. Today is JR's birthday.  I feel like I am not snapping back to normal since my accident.

    Had a severe weather warning.  I had some mail to bring in from my porch.  I had just sat down there when the wind suddenly surged at a severe speed blowing dirt & trash.  Hard to see down my drive.  Scared me.  Barely got back indoors & it was over.  There was huge hail & heavy rains in this area but I got nothing.

    I took a nice nap with Cinder cuddling me.  Now both cats are sleeping near me.

    Had texts from MM & a text or two from JR.

    My artist friend who just went back home to Iowa posted the paintings from his show at the Red Barn, just for me since I missed his show.  I saved them all just for me.  I really liked one of his.  I sure miss him when he is gone.

    Last night I forgot to take my insulin at supper.  By the time I remembered it was far too late to take it.  My night was much better.  Blood sugar did not vary too much.  Skipped it again tonight.  See how my night is.

    Photos tonight are mostly autumn ones.  I love autumn colors.  They are my colors.

04/2025 Tisdag the 22nd - Wandering & Capturing Moments

 

Today's Name Day:  Allan, Glenn

Glenn is a special name of a long time friend to Willie & I.  Know several Allans.

    Had a good day but too hot.  Luckily no wind.  Weather right now is severe warnings and thunder has started.  Not wide spread but here.  There are 2-3 other areas not near here.

    Had a hair appointment today.  Love being pampered.  Had a cut, color, & style.  Most other stylists are maga supporters.  So my stylists & I cannot talk.  No need to start a fight.  And we listen to their conversations that are less than intelligent.  Sad.  But they are all Catholic so no bad comments about the Pope.

    I took a nap when I got home.  Tired.  Woke up with major shaking & heavy sweating.  Had very low blood sugar.  Quickly took a couple of glucose pills & fixed supper.  Feel better.  Not been that low in a long time. Scary.  Lucky I woke up.

    Yikes!!! It is hailing here.  From dime size to quarter size.  Very loud!!! Storm warning until after 10pm.  Now strong winds.  Photo of MM's hand & hail. Same as mine here.

    Done for now.  More tomorrow from the Old Mill.  Want lots of flower photos from there unless the hail did then in.

Wandering Through Life, 20 august 2021

 I am sitting here in a severe storm.  Have had very high winds and torrential rains.  I could not see from my house to my pastures.  Had a little hail.  Kind of let up for a while but now coming on strong again.  Not as scared as I used to get.  Only have me to depend on.  No one to help me.  I kind of just do not care any more.  

My grandson’s girl friend is texting with me . We compare storm notes.  That helps keep me calm. And my brother when he can. Fire truck in town now. Hope nothing serious.

I had a good day  I got my booster vaccination shot  . I never felt a thing.  So far I feel ok.  See what I feel tomorrow.

After my shot I met my artist friend and a worker at the Red Barn and her husband at Jalisco’s.  They ate but I just had chips. Nice visit.

Then home for the storm.  In town they had a water fight but ended early due to the weather.  My brother made it to his office. Will make it home when the storm takes a break.

Photos were taken this afternoon at the Rosberg House bed & breakfast.  Great flowers and the awesome car was parked in front of it.

The Plague, Day 127......

Pretty quiet today. I am in a down mood. No reason, just am. Wanting what I never had. I do not wish less for anyone but I always wonder why it has never been me. Maybe Karma for me.

My RA is out of control today. Left hand is swollen and very sore. Cannot make a fist to save my life. No wonder I cannot feel good.

Started out cooler today. Got warmer this afternoon. BUT.  Tonight. I went to town to give JG his shot. Awesome clouds were building up. I took tons of photos. By the time I got his shot given the clouds were worse and there was lightning. Got home and got Nico outside. And then it hit. High winds and rain and hail!! I thought Kisse was doing something making a loud noise but she was sitting by me. I looked outside but could not get out to see how large the hail was. Lost my tv signal. Quiet outside now. More coming for the morning, or whenever. Wish I dared to leave my car out. So dirty. Get it washed later in the week.

Saw no one but JG. Not even his brother. Hard to not interact to anyone.

When I walked out my door I saw this tiny little flower. I got a photo. Will leave the weeds that are growing in that area. Maybe get more flowers. Maybe not.

Lindsborg has voted to require masks when not at home. Great! I expect for heads to explode. But better that than being in ICU. I think all businesses should have required masks from day one. Most have not.

Will just post cloud photos and the tiny flower.
