Back in Kentucky after many years away. I love to read and you can find me on Litsy as @decalino and Storygraph as @encgolsen. I mostly post about my dogs, my cat, books, flowers and the creek. All photos are my own, unfiltered, unless otherwise noted.

One of my all time favorite authors! Excellent choice.

The water in the creek is very low at the moment and a couple of fallen branches have created a temporary dam. With all the floating leaves it makes for some beautiful moments.

So. Was standing at my kitchen sink washing my hands when this bald beauty landed in my yard right in front of me at eye level! 👀

Life in the PNW!

Such a weird transitional time right now--some people still have Halloween decorations up, others have already put up their Christmas lights. There are still cosmos, verbena & sweet alyssum in bloom but we woke up to a light dusting of snow with more to come. I'm not ready for winter!

I saw a great blue heron while out with Iris today. Such a majestic bird!We spent a good portion of our walk trying to move stealthily without scaring it away. Well, I was trying--not sure what Iris thought what was going on.

I went to an early access screening of Predator:Badlands last night & really enjoyed it. Dek, a young Predator considered too weak to bring honor to his clan, has to team up with Thia, a damaged Weyland-Yutani synth to complete his mission on a deadly planet. Fun for fans of Prey and Alien.

It was beautiful today, so I spent as much time outside as possible. I disturbed a few little creatures while clearing approximately one million walnuts out of the yard. To my surprise a Monarch flew by as well, too quickly for me to get a photo.

I'm pretty sure this is the face Iris would make if she understood current events. In fact, it is the face she makes when there's a strange cat in the yard.

It was chilly but beautiful this morning on my walk with Iris.

October was a great month for scary books whether set in space, nature, the past, an alternate timeline or 1970s Florida. I also really loved They All Fall the Same, a crime family feud set in Kentucky, with brutal action and spot-on dialogue.

It will be November tomorrow but three days of rain seem to have given some of the flowers a last burst of energy.

I saw Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein at the Kentucky Theatre and it was definitely worth seeing on the big screen. A brutally sad depiction, beautifully done.

I really enjoyed seeing Silas House in conversation with Gwenda Bond tonight at Joseph-Beth bookstore, where they swapped ghost stories and discussed his new mystery novel Dead Man Blues.

I saw Good Fortune last night and really enjoyed it--a funny, big-hearted story that also addresses income inequality in a very real way. Plus, Keanu ❤️

It was a lovely, delightfully chilly fall morning for a walk with Iris.
