Blogg 18/05/2012 Happy Days…

 

 

Weather has been great. While quite warm, there is no humidity. In a wind warning all day. Chance of rain tomorrow. One can dream….

Had such a fun day today. Started with my Swedish group. My friends Janet, Jeanette, and Beth attended today. And they enjoyed it. Janet was surprised how many of our group she knew. And even Beth knew a couple. They are planning to return. And even want to plan to bring food for the group. Maybe this is the shot in the arm we need!!!

After we went to the Öl Stuga for lunch. Great sandwiches there!!! Then we walked across the street to the White Peacock for tea and something chocolate. We sat in the back room and were a bit rowdy!! What fun!!

Then I stopped at Lan’s garden to try to take some photos in the gale force winds. I am just soo stupid. I did get a few and a video. His garden is going to be breath-taking soon. It already is very cool. I saw something odd there. In one of the birdbaths, there were 2 honey bees at the edge of the water getting a drink. And then later I saw a hornet doing the same. A first for me.

 

I have a frustrating situation. Someone I sort of befriended and now truly regret has ingratiated himself into my life on FaceBook. He joined 2 groups of towns that I have or do live in. He has NO connection in any way to either of these places. He scans photos from some place where scanning is not allowed and then posts them as his own. And some of the ‘information’ he posts is wrong. I have corrected him and then he jumped on me in public. He has invented a ‘research’ group that he ‘works’ for. The group is a fantasy. Soon he will be asking people for money. He did this with another group. He had no need for money for anything. If anyone was stupid enough to give him a dime, it went in his pocket. I know a couple of people I know think he is so cool for posting these photos. I would like to tell them, but I do not want to look like I have an axe to grind with him and being petty. I warned my friends I was with today. They already had figured he was weird. It bothers me that he is every where I am on FB. I have blocked him from seeing most of what I post. I am hoping that others get a clue. I will not be meeting him for lunch anymore. Just too weird.

Blogg 17/05/2012 Day Alone…

 

 

Weather has been great. While quite warm, there is no humidity. Even at 90F, feels ok outside. Really windy today with higher winds tomorrow.

 

 

Was supposed to meet grandson Chris for lunch today in Marquette at the Valley Café. He never showed. Called later to apologise. He only had 2 hours sleep in the last couple of days. Working too many hours. He crashed and burned today. That is ok.

I loved watching the wheat wave in the wind today. Did a short video of it. Harvest in about 2 weeks. I am definitely not ready. My back will never be ready. I had one nice year where daughter-in-law #2 helped me everyday. That was wonderful even if she turned out to be a horrible person later. Having someone to help cook and carry all the food, tables, chairs made harvest fun. One year out of 45. Sigh. I have no one at all to help and no back up at all. If I get sick or my back gets really bad, makes no difference. I still have to get food and deliver. I have started buying food more than I used to.

American Idol was disappointing tonite. I really wanted Phillip and Joshua to be in the finale. But great to see Lisa Marie Presley. So rare to see her. She is so beautiful and looks so like her father. And I always like seeing Adam Lambert. Next week will be exciting.

I was blessed again today. When I came home a Scissor Tailed Flycatcher sat on our fence for me and posed. Such a lovely bird. They rarely come near the house. Second time he has done this. Very nice.

Blogg 11/05/2012 Rain…

 

 

Weather has been great. Cool, cloudy, no wind. And tonite we had rain. A heavy downpour for a while. Love it. Hope more develops overnite.

 

 

This morning was my Swedish group in Lindsborg. We had a program about the Bohuslän area. Very interesting. Not many there but that is ok. We had fun. Those that missed, their loss.

 

 

I took myself out to eat at Jalisco’s, Third time this week. I love the food but really love the people. They are just very nice to me. Need that sometimes.

Sort of dreading the weekend. Working both days at the Red Barn Studio in Lindsborg. Hoping for a very very quiet weekend. Sunday is Mother’s Day in the US. No celebration this weekend for me. And no lunch out. Probably won’t eat out sunday evening either. Oh well. It will be fine.

I stopped on Coronado Heights to take photos on the way home. The yucca plants were blooming. Very cool to see. And a few other wild flowers also. And then my camera’s batteries died. Again. Will go back soon!

Blogg 02/05/2012 Day at home…

 

 

Weather is hot again. And is supposed to be through the weekend. Joy.

 

 

Today was the Knitting Café. I was going to go but decided against it. I coughed a lot yesterday and just wanted to stay home. I do miss being there. Nice company and relaxing time.

 

 

I will just share some photos of flowers I have taken this spring.

Blogg 30/04/2012 Last day of april…

 

 

Weather has been awesome. Fairly cool during the day. Cool and perfect sleeping at nite. I love it. Makes me hate --- and dread --- summer all the more.

 

Yesterday we had a bit of fog and mist. Wish it had lasted all day. But when I got home, there was still a few rain drops on my peonies. Lovely.

 

Last week was not a good week for me. I sneezed constantly on tuesday and wednesday. It felt totally like my allergies. Then wednesday nite I got very ill with a cold. Miserable. I ran a fever of 100+ on thursday and thursday nite. I missed a really fun and FREE lunch on thursday. And I had a good friend take over my Swedish group on friday. I was so worried about the weekend. I had promised to work 6 hours on saturday at the Red Barn Studio in Lindsborg. It was artist open house weekend. I did make it to work. Not a particularly busy day, but rather steady. So I had lots of time to rest. I still cough occasionally but feel pretty good. Mostly tired after being sick for 3 days and a very busy weekend.

 

Tonite I had a docent meeting at the Red Barn Studio in Lindsborg. We saw photos of some of Lester Raymer’s religious work in various churches in Kansas and a couple of other states. Need to take a road trip to see these for real. Awesome!!! A good meeting.

 

After my meeting I stopped at the Meditation Garden at the Methodist Church next door to photograph a few flowers. I have started using my older camera again. Far better photos than my small newer one.

 

Tonite there was some severe storms to the south of us. We have a bit of lightning and thunder and very light rain. A disappointing thunderstorm. Still chances for rain for the next 2 days.
