31 march, 2023 Wandering & Capturing Moments

    It was not a quiet day today!!!   My nephew was moving dirt from my pasture to his yard.  On his last trip he drove the truck to his home.  But his little son, CN, drove the huge earth mover!!  CN almost came to a complete stop to make sure I saw him waving at me & that I waved to him.  He is a cutie.  KN & I texted about him & how much he ornery like Willie!!  It was the best part of Willie.  He never out grew it!  I had some tears then & now talking about the good part of Willie.  Breaks my heart.

    After lunch I was outside & there was a baby calf with its mom. They were walking in the 40 plus winds.  Poor baby was almost lifted off the ground!

    I tried to nap but Nico just had to run over me to the bedroom each time the truck drove by the house.  No nap or rest.  No problem.  I mulled over memories & turned to my phone.

    Today in town is a huge festival ---- the Jazz Walk.  Tons of people & a zydeco band & other music.  I  would have loved to heard them.  But I cannot walk far.  I need to sit.  And I have no one to help me be there & carry a chair also.  So I just came home.  No one there missed me.  Such is life.  Tears  again.

    Town was so crowded & not one parking place so supper was at Pizza Hut.  I had my favorite beef, bacon, & extra cheese pizza.  And an added plus was a take home order of Cinnabons.  They are too good for words.  First time I have had them.  Will not be my last.  JR had a sandwich with fries.  We had never had fries at Pizza Hut.  Extra good.  I could just live on them!  All in all a good meal.

    Nico started his being into everything like usual tonite.  I was ready to put the baby gate up in the hallway.  But he wanted a treat & then he has snuggled up.  His head is on his Baby stuffed animal.  Hope it lasts.

    Bad bad weather stuff today.  Tornados east of us.  I know there was one in Iowa.  Then I texted JS & he said they were IN a bad tornado!!  I have been full of worry.  He did not answer when I wrote & the radar there looked awful.  He lives outside of Little Rock.  Videos from there are awful!!!  Finally I got a text & he said they are ok.  What a relief.

    Then here in Kansas, SW of us were 6 fires.  SIX!!  Every time they would get one out it would restart!  When I left home this afternoon I saw a huge black --- BLACK --- clouds that way.  I assume we could see smoke here.  Must have been one area restarting.  Got better after that.

    Tomorrow will be calm.  Actually calm out now.  Nico, Cinder, & I sat out for a while tonight.  They ran & chased & played.  Good for them.  Lots of cattle for me to look at.  That is my first photo tonight.  Tomorrow is trash day while calm.

    Photos are from my memories.  Some I took.  The church is in Sweden.  Been to it several times.

29 april, 2022 Wandering

    What a truly awful day.  I am trying to be positive & not whine but today is special.  And not in a good way.

    Started when me & an immovable thing met.  Won't say more but it was an awful moment added to my pains.  No bothering anyone.  Only my problem.

    Tried to nap but could not sleep.  Too sad.

    Had strong storms forecast.  The radar was so hopeful looking.  As usual it all went north then east.  As usual.  We missed any rain.

    But now there are several tornadoes south of here around Wichita KS.  Plus one was seen east of us here in Dickenson Co.  There was a photo of that one.  TV is nothing but storms.

    Met JR & PM for supper.  It was a wild house!!  Many people in to eat and the phone never stopped ringing.  I felt sorry for JS and our new guy E.  Do not know his last name.  They were running.  JS apologised.  No need.  I expect nothing special.  It was only the 2 of them working out front.

    On the way home I stopped for photos of clouds.  They were awesome but then the further north I went I saw lots of dust blowing everywhere.  And it got hard to see to drive.  Scary.  And my mood was really bad & cried the entire way home.

    After I got in the house we got a Dust Storm Warning.  That is a first.  Never seen that before.  My iWatch had a huge yellow warning sign.  That is another first.  The wind was at least 60-70 mph.  My house jiggles with winds over 50-70 mph.  Tonite it moved more than usual.  I am terrified.  I heard something hit my house but have not looked to see what it was.  Don't care now.

    I have never liked being alone during storms but now there is no option.  I always felt better when Willie (husband) got home.  No one to be with me here.  I am sooo scared.  The winds seems less which is helping.  Warning goes until 9pm.  That is in 15 minutes.  I am still crying.  And extra pain from earlier today.  What a damn day.  Should have stayed home tonight.  I do not belong anywhere & do not fit in anywhere.

    Photos are just clouds.
