Meet Mr. Bojangles

Meet the newest member of the animal family, Mr. Bojangles, Sam's newest friend. Sam even lets this little guy eat out of is dish, (something the other cats wouldn't dare to do), and sleep on his bed. Bo really likes napping... followed by eating, followed by intense resting, and then maybe a little nap. It's only at 3 a.m. that he and Ubu, the former youngest in the feline brigade, decide to play chase, over the bed (and me) and down the hallway. How is it such little creatures can sound like a herd of elephants???



Ewwwwww.... fall is bringing out the creepie-crawlies and this one is spinning it's web near my front door. I usually let Mother Nature's creatures do their thing unimpeded by me... but here's hoping a good hard frost will discourage these guys from building so close to the house.

Oktoberfest in St. Louis

Vickie shopping for doo-dads at Soulard Oktoberfest in St. Louis. What a fun time! A great weekend and the weather cooperated beautifully.
A plethora of pumpkins at the Farmer's Market at Soulard Oktoberfest in St. Louis.



Vickie, my dog Sam, and a really tall guy in lederhosen at Oktoberfest in St. Louis.
The neighborhood was full of delightful surprises as well as an abundance of German food, beer, wine, music and more!
