This article is talking about my old neighborhood in Swiss Cottage. I'm thrilled they were able to protect the area. I spent many an afternoon reading on "my bench" there. :-)

I have the feeling that a holiday is near. 😜🍗🦃

Sometimes, I sort of have the feeling when it’s time to transition to the rest- and snack-portion of the evening. Not sure how. Simply a vibe. 😱🤪😃🐾🦴🐾🦴💤💤

Another great mail day, thanks to The Louisville Review! 😃❤️📖

I was gonna type something about a casual Saturday morning, but then I realized it’s 2:00 p.m. That being the case…After a hard morning of chores, it’s important to reward yourself with an afternoon break before getting back on the “to do” items. 🤪😱

A rare, pleasant day as the sun starts to set. Time to read until I begin to shiver. And Freckles is always near. 😀🐾🦴🐾🦴

A couple of seasons ago, I decided to save some money and close the pool myself, with my vast skill set. Come spring, we had frogs. Not this year. it’s not fall around Casa Burkhead until that pool is closed. :-)

Not impressed. 🤪🦴🐾🦴🐾

Sometimes it’s difficult to get comfortable, especially if you’re hanging on to your baby bed. 🤪🐶🐾🦴🐾

A moment on the back deck. The sun falls fast this time of year, and I’ve been told that we “fall back” tonight. Went over and helped Seth move some stuff out of his bus/RV. He’s getting ready to spray installation. While there, Miss Eryn and her Plus One did a drive by.

A couple of Halloween night shots. 😃

Sixty-two degrees, headed to a 71 high. Welcome fall! A ton of lunch hour to-do items, but no thanks. Need some sun and reading and Halloween card time. Oh yeah, and food. 😜

After tonight’s storm, looks as if fall’s here, and we can start using the fire pit. 😀🔥

Literary spoils from the 2025 Southern Festival of Books. I’ll do a larger recap with new photos later tonight. 😀📚📓🎉🎊🎪🎪

Bulk of chores moved to the DONE column. Brought to a boil a pot of chai tea: Well, a box of concentrate. Added eight tea bags of Harney & Sons Hot Cinnamon Sunset tea: The tea I boil when I’m serious about it. And the candy corn-themed marshmallows didn’t hurt a bit.

Yesterday, I did a Cannonball Run trip to Louisville to attend Celebration of Life for my friend Bob Strohman. His niece Jennifer Strohman Taylor did a great job. Bob was also a fan of home made holiday cookies, so the family let people pick their favorite cookie cutters. My new, prized-possession.

Today is a much needed, much appreciated holiday. Snail mail, Halloween cards, and a small-town newspaper from Kentucky travels. A cool morning on the back deck. 😀

According to technology, an hour and a half before sunset. I’ll take it! Birds chirping. Insects insecting. Freckles being Freckles. Time to dirty my hands with newsprint. 😱🐧🐝🪲🦟🦗🦴🐾🦴🐾🐶

This just about says it all…time to call this literary day over. 🐾🦴💤🐾🦴💤🐾🦴💤

I call this the Saturday night cold shoulder. She is neither asleep nor sleepy. She’s ready for me to downshift and go to the living room. I’m feeling the day sneak up on me. Grading student papers because isn’t that what professors do on a wild Saturday night? 💤💤💤🦴🐾🦴🐾💤💤💤
