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

Zero hears the fireworks and is unimpressed. #4thOfJuly #cats

Lots of butterflies in the garden today, although it's way too hot to be out there for long. #Butterfly #Flowers 💙🌷

A few flowers from the garden now that I'm finally home. 💙🌷 #Flowers #Gardening

If you are interested in the impact of Supreme Court decisions, I highly recommend this podcast. This episode is about last week's decisions but I'm sure they will have a lot to say about today's opinion as well. open.spotify.com/episode/0rUg... #SCOTUS

Frodo the cat was a main character, a definite plus. Zero would never make it--he loves to talk! #AQuietPlace #movies

Saw so many lovely flowers while out walking today! It's mostly been too hot to do much outdoors during my visit in Arlington, Virginia but at least I made it around the block. #Flowers 💙🌷

S.G. Goodman put on an AMAZING show last night at the Purple Fiddle in Thomas, WV. Such a great venue--I feel very lucky to have seen her play there! #SGGoodman #PurpleFiddle #music

Maggie and Iris look so silly when they're silently begging for treats. #Dogs #Pets

The first black-eyed susan has bloomed! Hopefully it can survive the heat dome. #Gardening 💙🌱 #Flowers

The butterfly bush has started to bloom! #Gardening #Flowers 💙🌱

Zero sends you best wishes for a happy #Caturday

The goldfinches are putting on a show for #FeatheredFriday! #birds

Hope everyone's enjoying their Friday! Here's a photo of a bee visiting the common milkweed in the park yesterday. #Flowers #Nature

I watched the new HBO documentary MoviePass, MovieCrash last night-- what a wild story! I loved my MoviePass and tried to see as many movies as possible before the inevitable end. So many movies I wouldn't have seen in theaters otherwise: Maudie, Faces Places, Three Billboards, Wind River #movies

Happy #WhiskerWednesday! It must be nice to be a cat and have no idea what day of the week it is. I have been ready for Friday since Monday. #cats
