Today's Name Day:  Erhard , Gotthard

Think I had an ancestor with a middle name of Erhard.  No Gotthard.  Had a cousin in Sweden who was Gotfrid.  Different name.

    Today was ok.  Same ole stuff.  Home alone, no texts or calls & lots of pain & tiredness.  Never seems to get any better or more fun.

    Had some rain overnight.  Got around a third of an inch here.  Way too little.

    I had trouble getting to sleep but slept good when my mediction finally kicked in.

    Miss Kitty & all 7 kittens were here last night before I went to bed.  None of them here today.  I have called & been ignored.  The opening going under my house is a bit muddy.  Dang.

    I stayed home today.  No energy to go out, not even for Cinco de Mayo.  Sure I am not missed anywhere.

    Still not one text from our thursday group.  Either they area talking to each other but not me.  I tried to text but got ignored so I deleted them.  Will just forget.  Sad.  It was something I really enjoyed.

    I enjoyed lots of Mill Fest photos.  How I wish I could have been there.  I could get a golf cart type vehicle but where would I keep it in town.  It would be mine.  Not sharing with anyone unless they can help pay for it & help support it.  Like that is going to happen.  Everything is always just me paying for everything.  No one pays me to help me out.  Grandson no doubt would if I asked.  That would be it.  Guess I will do without one.  Would be fun though.

    I have many photos to use tonight but my laptop has not synced at all.  My wi fi router is dying.  Overheats.  New one comes this evening after 630pm.  Should be soon.  Hope it helps.  I did manage to get my Cinco de Mayo photos to open here.  I had some I was saving here & they are mostly winter pictures.  But it is cold here so they fit.

    Maybe rain tonight.  Maybe.  We need inches.  KN said our wheat is really needy.  Scary times.  I remember well.

Our temperature stayed in the 50s overnight, but then it dropped to 36F around noon.  Briefly rose to the 40s but now in the 30s again.  Our wind is gusting to the mid 50mph.  My trash cans & trash are all over my yard.

Today's Name Day:  Cristel,  Kristoffer

The only Kristoffer I am familiar with is a famous singer that we saw in perform in Wichita.  Love him.

    Cancelled my day due to the weather.  Our temperature stayed in the 50s overnight, but then it dropped to 36F around noon.  Briefly rose to the 40s but now in the 30s again.  Our wind is gusting to the mid 50mph.  My trash cans & trash are all over my yard.  And KN just got it all picked up from the last high wind day.

    The house is still nice & cozy but that won't last.  Not with strong winds & dropping temps.  But feels good now.

    I saw my llamas were here near my front yard.  Grabbed my iPhone & sat outside.  Brrrrr.  But they posed pretty good for me.  Got some nice photos.

    All my photos today are local things mostly taken by me.

Mom took a class from her & drew/painted the story of her life.

Grave at Elmwood Cemetery Lindsborg KS that a couple of us always make sure she is holding flowers.

Photos of my cousin Jordy Train when he was in the high school Swedish dancers.  The top one was an accident.  He is no where near that white post.  But it looks like his foot is on it.  The second one is a shot I wanted to badly.  I took many shots to get this one.  Love both of these photos.

This statue sat on a front porch in Lindsborg for years.  I am clueless if there is a story about him.  He is gone now.

Llamas today in the cold, windy weather.

Trash in my front yard from the severe weather.  We will survive!!

Nico always sat on my bed & looked out the window looking for me to come home,  This one came out OK.  I still always check this window when I get home.  Cats are near but never in the window.

Yay!!!
