Flowers at the Old Mill last year.

Today's Name Day:  Harald, Hervor

Harald is a special name.  Willie's brother & KN's father was Harold.  They did not get along.  Sad.  Not sure of all the reasons why.  Wish families were not dysfunctional ---- including my own.  Mind got worse with time.

    Had an ok day.  Windy again.  Wears one down.  Winds in the 40s.  Temp was a bit warmer.  In a severe weather warning for tonight.  Making me super stressed!!! 😱

    Took a nap in case I get little sleep tonight.  Hoping it is over early enough I can take my anxiety pill for sleep.  Both cats napped in my bed  with me also.  Nice they do that.

    Not been outside since morning.  The trash guys did not pick up my trash bin that was already laying flat.  But the other has blown over now too.  Lovely,  No need to pick then up before the stormy weather.  Would probably knock them over again then.

    No communication.  A couple of texts from MM & one email.  Ignored by all others.  Like normal.  I am too used to being ignored & alone.  It is so hurtful to send a text or two to someone & they either don't bother to read it or don't answer.  Makes me feel even more alone.  But that is my problem.  I have quit sharing on FB as not many like what I share.

    Cattle are roaming around.  Have not seen the llamas yet.  If they were close I would go pick up my mail with my camera.

    Photos were a mix.  Could not find the ones I wanted.  Odd.

Statue at the art gallery.  Water sprays out of it also.

Cross by Inga Bow that I own.  It is ceramic.  Love her work.

A very cool car parked next to us getting ice cream.  Could not get a cool photo of it.  From last year.

Today's Name Day:  Ralf, Rudolf

    I felt some better yesterday but not today.  I went to take a shower & had trouble stepping up & in the bathtub. I desperately needed to shampoo my hair so I found a way to safely get in the tub.  It is always something.  But my hair looks & feels better.  Hopefully I can work on saturday.  I hate this week.

    Far too hot today.  Stayed in the 50s overnight.  Ick.  today we hit 85.  Double ick..  My house was 88 inside by my bedroom.  Got it down to 75 inside now.  Much better.  Some rain in my area now.  Probably bypass my farm as usual.  We are in a warning now.

    I actually made it outside.  Had two trash bags that were taking the house over.  So out they went.  I got one trash bin upright to put them in.  Strapped the lid down.  Hope that helps to keep it upright.  If the trash men would do that it would help.  Wind was kind of strong but could have been worse.

    We had a thunderstorm last night at 430am.  Lots of lightning, some thunder, & a little rain.  MM had hail at his house.  Woke him & his dog up.  Kids slept through it all.  We got next to no rain ---- 0.02".

    No appetite for supper.  And felt sick.  Think my blood sugar was low.  I had a peanut butter & jelly sandwich, chips, & a cookies.  All I had the energy to fix,  Did not make me feel better.

    TV sucks this week.  Basketball.  Many of my favorite shows are cancelled.  Just do not like American sports.

    I saw a llama out my window.  Then it got a bit stormy & he disappeared.  Probably ran home.  Oops.  Wrong..  Still here!!  Too dark to go take a photo.

    A few texts today.  Not much.  I found a comment on something I posted a couple days ago from CF.  A message would have been better.

    Photos are a mix.  Nothing special.

Horses & buggies in Yoder Kansas.  An Amish town.  They have the best eating place there.  And their cinnamon rolls & white bread are to die for.

Neighbour's ancient tractor.

A decorated window in town for an art show.

ME!!!  As a toddler!!!

Family yesterday.

World Caring Day

Today's Name Day: Gösta, Gustav

    I just rested today.  Poor sleep.  Awake until almost 5am.  Up early to have a video chat with JS.  We talked for 30 minutes.  I treasure these times.  Miss him more than I can say.  Life was better when he lived here.

    My hip started hurting during the night.  Hopefully just the change in weather.  So pain cream & heating pad today.

    We were not in the severe weather watch but now we are.  😱  In the west part of the state there are some awful things now.  Huge hail, wind, rain.  Just as harvest has started.  One town had baseball size hail.  Wouldn't that be fun???  😱  In case of littlel sleep tonight, I took a short nap.

    Watching the Daytime Emmys, even though it really upsets me.  One particular show is always favored,  Even though a much higher rated show gets ignored.  Same every year.  I am always shocked when someone I like wins.  And now a couple got a huge honor & recognition.  About time.

    I called JS again like he asked me to but he must be buying groceries or something.  Maybe he will call me back,  Or tomorrow.

    Cats were normal today.  That is nice.  Cinder was out until nap time.  Just went out again.  Watching the weather to get her in before it gets severe.

    Photos today are from an abandoned or unused building on our Main Street.  It fascinates me.  There is a cup in a second floor window.  What if it moves???  Fun thought!! Great to zoom in to see if you can see anything from the past lives in there.  Food for many thoughts.

National Chocolate Custard Day 

Today's Name Day: Jane, John

    

    Another quiet day except for my allergies making me sneeze & cough often.  A bit better tonight.  I cancelled supper tonight.  No one wants to hear me hacking!

    Sleep was ok last night.  Cinder spent some of the night away from me.  Kisse stayed close.  But mornings Cinder comes back to bed.

    Cool weather last night.  Good for sleeping.  Today was so-so.  Severe threats for here around midnight or so.  Keep the severe stuff away please.  I try not to worry but hard not to sometimes.  If something happens to my house, I have no where to go.  No family to take me in.  No friends to bunk with.  Just me.  I try to keep these thoughts to myself as no one cares how I feel.  Learned that the hard way.  Tried talking once but got shut down fast.  Keep my thoughts just to me.  I can get another home but what to do until that happens.  Nada.  Live in my car with the cats.  How cozy we will be.

    I think Millfest with 500 kids at the Old Mill today went ok,  Be fun just to be there & watch!  Tomorrow is the adult Millfest day.  The mill will be turned on for adults to walk through & observe.  Think it is like 3 stories high.  My grandfather worked there years ago & my father hauled out of there to Topeka.  It is a dear place to me.  And now I volunteer there.  JR worked there during the renovation time taking photos.

    I see Cinder is now on the porch.  I will wait to let her in.  If she comes in now she will want back out soon.

    Not much else to write about.  Just a mix of photos.
