What, you don’t let your cat drink fresh water out of a glass?

Went out to see the lights again tonight. Nothing. I guess the solar event came earlier than they anticipated.

Got a cool pic of the stars though.

Gonna give this a whirl this afternoon. I’ve been wanting to play Return to Dark Tower since it was announced. Excited to get into it with @doubleb25.bsky.social.
A circular board with organic map shapes on it, some of which contain small grey structures. A large and imposing tower in the middle of the board casts a shadow to the east. Playing bits are scattered around the outskirts of the board.

She always makes me pretty again. Tip your hair person extra this holiday season. She revealed my grey, and I’m digging it today.

Here they are! Robb did the Ghostbusters logo. He’s so crafty.
Carving a…pumpkin? Same pumpkin looking deep in despair, in the dark and all lit up. Robb’s pumpkin, the ghostbusters logo. Our helper, a cat on the paper covered table.

Pumpkin carving is going splendidly today. This wide boy is horrified. Maybe about his little top hat I made him?

I think of this old photo of myself every time I see a tree this color. I miss that shirt.

This one’s peach. We did another batch that’s just straight delicious, one that is gingery, and a fourth batch is just finishing cooking. Applesauce time is joyful time!

I miss vacation.
Garden of the Gods, IL. Rocky outcroppings tower above a forest. Robb feeds a miniature horse a slice of apple.

Coming home to this guy makes it all better. He’s very happy to see us. Curled up with us and putting.

We survived Mammoth Cave. It was awesome.
Tiny white mushrooms grow out of a mossy tree. Moss grows in the shape of a skull on a tree The “bottomless pit” in Mammoth Cave. It’s just over 100ft deep. Impressive stone structures about 300 feet underground.

Some more from Dollywood today. We had such a blast!
Husband and I under the dangly violet lights at night A collection of grinning Jack o lanterns lit up green at night Dolly’s bedroom in her old tour bus, featuring a red and white paisley bedspread, her guitar, a photo of her mom and dad, and her bible A wall display with a picture of Dolly Parton in pink hues from, I would guess, 1970something. She’s quoted as saying, “It costs a lot of money to look this cheap.”

Dollywood pic dump! One of probably a few during the day.
In the 360° Dolly theatre An active count of how many books she’s given out. 287,503,405 to date. A replica of one of Dolly’s wigs. A giant purple butterfly in front of Dolly’s theatre. Gold border and gold Dolly text

I will never understand why someone who wants to make an impact would waste their money on something like this and not use it for actual good.

It’s Rail Explorers Bluegrass KY day!

We joked after the last Rail Explorers adventure that we would do all 6 locations, but this one happened to be exactly on the way from Cincinnati to Dollywood.

So here we go again!!

The vibes last night at Kings Island Haunt were immaculate. Had a lot of fun.
Haunted house entrance with castle motif and lots of red lights Trees in the midway lit up in a light lavender and white palette. Spots of green. A flying pumpkin man hangs in the trees. View from the coaster station of the loft hill going up into the fog at night View from the front of the park at night of Eiffel Tower lit up like a scary face in the background. Sign in front features a gathering of strangers and the words Kings Island Haunt lit up in orange. The sign is flanked by 2 huge, rather chunky skeletons
