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.

Good friend already wished me Happy Halloween so I think this photo is ok.  One of my faves.

Today's Name Day:  Louise, Lovisa

I have known one Louise.  Couple of years older than me & sort of a neighbour.  I see her once in a while & friends with family of hers.

    A better day, sort of, today.  RA & depression have ruled my life for a few days.  Sorry I could not be here.

    Our weather is beyond wonderful!!  Our low was 60F.  High hit 70F before supper tonight.  Heaven.  At last!!

    I have done nothing but sleep for 2 days.  Hard to stay awake.  Odd.  Maybe fighting getting sick.  I was exposed to someone with a cold.

    I am sure the weather is nice outside but I really did not care.  I had mail to sort outside & carry in. Some heavy things.  I do not feel better.  Just more pain.

    I am glad that MM got a weekend away with a friend.  Fun to see him looking happy & enjoying life.  I am glad for him.  Starting work this weekend.  The huge boot he is wearing on his broken ankle but had has permission to wear a smaller brace.  Got to feel better.

    Had rain last night.  Got 0.33".  Nice.  More on the way on Wednesday.  No lightning or thunder or wind.

    My spanish got a bit easier.  Nice but that won't last.  Never does.

    Saw someone riding a small vehicle in my pasture.  They never saw me.  And there are no cattle in the pasture so who knows what was going on..

    Photos are a mix.  Too tired to sort them tonight.

This is a princess tårta cake. A traditional birthday cake in Sweden.

My babies --- Kisse & Nico.

Love being there, love the statue & park, love the song.

Sunset last evening.  The sun was huge & gorgeous!

Today's Name Day:  Reine, Reinhold

    Had a bad night but a good day.  I could not sleep.  Awake until 6am.  Then up around 930am to get ready for work.  Woke with a headache but got better.

    First day at the Old Mill in a week.  I finished the photos of kids at the state capitol.  Not many of them but took forever with 3 to 5 names on each photo.

    Started a new bunch of photos at work.  They are the most boring photos so far.  Lots of kids or adults & no one knows who they are.  Where they are is boring.  There was one photo of some pieces of art.  Liked it. There was one piece that is called a tin star.  I know several artists who make them.  A second photo really caught my attention.  Fell in love with it.  And the more I looked at it I realised the name of it was written as part of it, the artist, & when it was created.  It says " From Lidkõping (Sweden) by Birger Sandzén 1892".  Made a couple of copies & shared one on Lindsborg Nostalgia.

    I was just too tired to go out for supper.  Came home after work.  Did not even try to nap.  Blood sugar was falling so I just fixed some supper.  Nothing fancy.  Too tired to cook.  I thought of taking something home for supper.  Or even going to the Öl Stuga.  Too tired.  Just came home.

    There are no cattle here anymore.  I sure miss them.  One reason I hate summers.  Cattle& calves are far from home.

    Weather was awful today.  Humid & I saw 99F.  Felt awful outside.  Cool tonight & tomorrow.  Then hot & humid again ---- all next week.

    There is a big fire in the Grand Canyon.  The smoke arrived here yesterday.  My eyes have felt like there is gravel in them.  Nothing helps.  Glad I see my eye doctor this month.

    The TV acted up last night.  Ch12 had trouble streaming their network.  Then I was watching a tv show while doing my Spanish lesson.  It was miserably difficult.  Then my electricity quit for a few seconds.  Had to restart my TV show & I had to restart my lesson.  I dreaded having to redo it all over again.  BUT.  It was different & much easier.  I had few errors.  Made me smile.

    This evening Cinder is sitting on the room heater watching the outside.  And she is looking braced for an attack,  No idea what is out side but she looks no where else.  And then my tv quit again due to weather.  No storms here or clouds.  Odd.

    Photos are a mix of dozens of things.
