Finally finished my pumpkin column. I love decorating for holidays, but I’m concerned that Gaston will play with (read: destroy) anything I put up. He’s gotten big enough that he can jump onto pretty much anything now.

It’s time for Biiiiig Brother!!

Leaving Eagle Lake after a 20-mile bike ride, I saw this cool cloud and watched it start to spark with lightning. Watch til the end cuz I captured a good bolt. Also, I pulled off to the side of the road to shoot video; I wasn’t driving.

I don’t cook often, but I did tackle a new dish tonight. It’s quite tasty. And now I have lunch for a few days.

Taylor: Ma, pay my car insurance! 😂😂 #bb28

Power is back! 🥳🥳

Well, I was just finishing the dishes about half hour ago when the lights went out. Full darkness. Great. I reported the outage to the power company. At least I have a big battery charger so I plugged a fan into it. Will I get to sleep??

I love the sunset colors after a rain. These colors and clouds were so beautiful that I had to stop to take it in and get this picture.

I don’t know who made this game up, but you deserve jail time. — Taylor I got a good laugh from her remark!! #bb28

My sweet Nana, Ruby Vaughans, would have been 100 today. This is the last photo my brother, his children and I took with her.

Gaston with his favorite toy, a little stuffed Lambchop.

I have a wee bit of a problem this morning. The truly odd thing is I dreamed about a tree falling over. No storm last night, so it wasn’t wind or lightning. It sure did crack with some force though.

Im babysitting three little kittens for the night. They are quite comfortable, but Gaston isn’t happy.

Gaston. He’s adorable, but he has a mean bite. To him, he’s playing. To me, I’m cussing. But he is awfully cute!🥰

Not a chance noms are changing. — Yash. Dude, you have a big shock coming!! #BB28

Epic challenge of MMA vs AARP!! 😃😃😃 #BB28

Gaston the goofball is asleep with his head behind the couch cushion. 😃

How did his fat orange ass fit inside a catering cart ? And, gosh, hiding that way sounds like something a coward would do. 😃 And last, there is no way in hell I would ever eat anything that came off that cart. There is not enough bleach in the world to sufficiently clean it. 🤢🤮

Gaston has been playing hard the past hour. Now little baby is sacked out.

I know she’s having a messy HoH, but seeing LaLa’s reaction to winning *and* outlasting a beast is amazing!! #GirlPower #GenXWomen #BB28

Look how huge this one sunflower is!! 🌻🌻

#BB28 has great costumes this summer.

Harvesting corn right across the road.

Gaston says happy Caturday.

Happy National Sunflower Day! 🌻🌻

Kick ‘em when they’re up. Kick ‘em when they’re down.

I went to an Eagles tribute band concert last night. Lots of fun!

I 🌻 sunflowers!

Gaston is so cute and calm when he’s asleep…but when he’s awake, he’s the Tasmanian Devil. I was sound asleep, but he bit my hand and woke me up. So, here I am….wide damn awake.

So Devens didn’t do the full nom ceremony speech? Or was it edited for tonight’s episode? #bb28

This cat is hilarious! This item arrived today got Gaston. It’s part kitty bed, part toy. The material is supposed to absorb his scent, making it special to him.

During my Clarksdale trip, I also stopped by this awesome shop, Cat Head Movie and Music Store. I bought the 3 items in this photo group.

I took a day trip to Clarksdale today. Lunch at Yazoo Place. Yummy pimento cheese with bacon strips on toasted sourdough…plus this beer.

30 miles this evening. I used to go that distance regularly, but that was at least 10 years ago. I * may* have bitched about my butt hurting. 🤔 But I’m glad I got it done. Exhausted now. . strava.app.link/laFZKsjLC4b

So well deserved. 💙💙

My gone country — but not redneck — grilling. I’m sweating my face off. It’s not the heat; it’s the humidity.

Meet Gaston. Super sweet kitty, very active.

I’m in Tyler, Texas, for a terribly sad reason: my dear friend Nancy passed away a few weeks ago. Celebration of life is today. It hasn’t seemed real at all, but it will today. Nancy and I have been friends for 20 years.

Country sounds.

Got home after a heavy rain and discovered Lake Driveway along with a nice rainbow. Oh, and no power. Lights came back right at dusk, thank goodness!

Got some pretty sunflowers and yummy cherries yesterday.

Rainy days have the best clouds.

I took this photo this morning. Climbed up a step ladder to get it.

Success!!! I’m so excited! 🥳💦🥳

This damn root fought valiantly, but I was more determined. I’ve finished with the hole. Now I need to fill in the gaps; the directions say to use sand, but of course I have none. Hum…

My weekend project. Updates coming.

New shoes. I love them!

Tough storm passed through quickly, but it caused the power to go out briefly. At least it’s quiet again.

Almost continuous, angry lightning going on, and the storm actually isn’t here yet.
