    Believe it or not, it is still raining!!  Quit raining during the night but started again this morning.  And has not quit yet.  Earlier today my rain gauge was half full.  Too dark to see now.  Not a light rain.  Needed my wipers going pretty fast!!!  This is wonderful.  Except for the weather girl from California who wants the 98F day to hurry & get here.

    Today I worked at the Old Mill.  I was supposed to run the upstairs office as my boss expected to be busy.  But the rain put a damper on that.  So I went back to the basement & did about 4 school districts before I was done.  Small districts.  Love the old photos.  One had a horse & buggy in it.  Had a good day.

    Then home to get Nico outside.  Cinder was close.  I gave her a treat before going back for supper.  The rain was a bit lighter while home.

    Picked up JR to eat at Jalisco's.  PM joined us.  And they got extremely busy.  When we walked in there was a long table filled with food & booth table filled with food.  The college softball coach came in & all the food disappeared.  The team had food.  Nice for them.

    Even busy JS had time to tease me.  But CT & MS had no time.  I should have poked my head in the kitchen to say hello!

    I took JR to the grocery store after we ate.  It was pouring down then.  Got home & Cinder was waiting & so was my black cat was there also.  Now everyone is fed.  And happy.

    Strong winds out & I am debating whether to sleep on the sofa to keep warm or go to bed.  Time to decide later.

    The fur kids must be happy I am home.  Nico & Kisse were bonding on the floor.  She was licking his face & he did not bite her.  A rare moment of caring.

    Photos are a mix..

    Considering today was a home alone day, it was ok.  Fur kids were pretty good.  The weather was fairly nice.  No gale force winds but maybe tomorrow.  Always a joy..  Our highs were in the 70s.  My house was comfy with AC.  I am so thankful for it being fixed.

    I woke up at 7am to call my friend to get up for his trip to another town for his outpatient surgery.  He beat me up!  He had been up for 40 minutes when I called him.  His procedure went well.  He called me right after.  His incision was glued together.  Something new to me.  Did not do that when I was a nurse.  He can shower all he wants.  Water won't hurt his incision.  He stopped at work but they let him go home for the day.  I am glad.  He planned to sleep.  Good for him. 

    I am sad today.  Where I used to work they have an art auction twice a year.  I always "worked" at it.  Granted, I did next to nothing but I loved being there & part of it.  But this year I was not asked to be there.  I am sure they do not need me & it is hard to be "not needed".  Oh well.  Life moves on.  I could go to the auction, but it will save me money to stay away.  No one will miss me.  As I said, I am sad today. 

    Not many cattle in my pasture.  I miss the little ones.  But when sitting out there seems to be a bird highway through my front yard.  Peaceful to sit and watch.

    I got ambitious & washed my hair.  Hope it looks ok tomorrow.  If not my curling iron will fix it.  Or I will find a hat or scarf to wear!! (-:

    This morning Nico must have barked for 30 minutes.  I could hear an engine outside.  I assumed it my nephew but he was innocent.  I had a load of propane delivered.  I almost passed out when I read the bill.  Dang.  I am not using my heater unless truly cold.  My room heater is good enough & add another blanket to the bed.

    Photos are summery flowers.  The Bachelor button is bitter sweet.  It was from my cousin's yard.  I always stopped there every summer to take photos.  But she has died and the new owners with have no idea or do not like them.  The yard is mowed and no flowers grow.  How I miss her and her flowers.
