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.

06/2025 - Martes the 17th - JOURNEY

 

No harvest today or the next few days.  These are old photos.

Today's Name Day:  Torborg, Torvald

Familiar with these names.

    Had a hell of a night last night.  My weather alarm radio was constantly sending alerts.  I had to get up to shut it off.  It is new & I am clueless.  I finally moved it to next to my bed.  Then played with it.  NOW it is set correctly.  I was awake until after 6am.  Did sleep this morning.  And this afternoon.

    Woke up around noon today & it was thundering then.  Thunder & rain now also.  Maybe get the storms done before bedtime.  And my electricity has been off three times.  Not for long.

    Bad storms in southern Kansas.  Hutchinson had a wind gust of 89mph.  And Wichita had a gust of 101mph.  That is the strongest in their history.

    Had winds here of around 40-50mph.  No damage.  So far around 2 inches of rain.

    Texted MM last evening.  I am so worried for him and his sons. He is working all week so I am going to try to see him often around my schedule.  Miss seeing him.

    Cooler today.  Good day.  Wish it would last.  Cool summer weather in Kansas??? Hahaha!!!  Oh, the dreams of fools........

    I texted with LL.  The river the Mill sits on is 6 feet higher today.  Wow!!!  Not seen it that high in a long time.  Small leaks in the Mill itself.

    No one texted today.  All busy.  Except for PR who used to work at Jalisco's.  His 6 year old daughter & I video chatted.  How sweet!!!  Made my day!!

    Photos are just some things I like.

Drinking glass by the sofa.

Photo of a flower I took.  Then printed it & painted it. Love it.

Midsommarstång

Favorite photo of Willie.  Celebrated his birthday at Pizza Hut.  Took his photo & a friend sitting behind him had to wave!!!

Today's Name Day:  Josef, Josefina

Josefina is a very special name to me.  We had a border collie named Kajsa Jo.  I sometimes called her Josefina.  She was so special.

    Our blizzard day.  We got lots of wind ---- gusts up to 60mph.  Had a mix of rain/snow then just snow.  Did not amount to much.  About an inch of snow with moisture content of 0.24".  Won't halp our drought even a little.

    I slept late.  Both cats did also.  Cinder never left our bedroom until after our nap.  Soo lazy!!

    I surely did not need a nap but I took one anyway.  Probably something to do with the weather & my health.  Went to the bedroom & both cats were in bed.  Both!! I managed to lay down & not upset Kisse.  Cinder just moves & then finds a new comfy place.  Great nap.  A blizzard nap!

    I went to get the mail.  Cold!! Windy!!  But Larry & Coco were near my house in the pasture.  I made sure I had my camera.  When I first stopped near them they looked at me.  But no matter what I said later they ignored.  How rude!!  😁  Sharing a collage photo of them later.

    I had something new for supper.  A cheese, egg, & sausage burrito.  It was pretty good.  Forgot I had them.  Need to eat newer things.  And I had powdered sugar donuts arrive today.  Great dessert!

    Our weather stayed in the low 30s today.  After my nap the temp was almost 40 so no snow remained.  Probably the last snow for me.  Only heat to look forward to now.  😦

    Photos from MM.  Showed what he was cooking.  I never cook but his looked wonderful ---- shrimp & potatoes.

    Someone who was sick & in treatment & could not communicate was texting others today.  Not me. He must have gotten permission to text now but I was not inclued.  Kind of usual.  I am always the last to know & not included in anything,

    Time for Spanish lesson.  They are a little easier last couple of days.  I am glad.

Larry is the black one.  Coco is the brown one.
