I woke up early this morning and remembered a short shopping trip planned for today.
So I got dressed and drove out into a very grey morning.
Got to the grocery store and quickly piled stuff into my cart.
A Sunday New York Times and an Arizona Republic, a package of crammed-in grocery store croissants, and a bottle of vodka.
I can't help wondering what the checkout girl is thinking.
Light rain began on the way home.
That audit of the votes cast in Arizona's Maricopa County in the last presidential election is finally done and it shows President Biden's margin of victory was actually LARGER.
For the Trumpers, it wasn't supposed to turn out that way.
Which makes me realize . . .
Hi, Gentle Readers, and welcome to the Friday edition of Fun and Frolic.
Let's linger no longer.
And with those two earworms for you, I will scuttle my way out of here.
But not before advising you all to have a sensational, trouble-free weekend.
And always remember to keep laughing!
Here, kitty-kitty . . .
Just a pair at twilight.
Photographed from a distance, in weak light, with a weak camera, so these pics ain't goin' on no museum walls.
But still . . .
Ain't they sweet?
As I am writing this it is 7:15 in the morning here in Arizona's Central Highlands and the temperature is 53 degrees Fahrenheit.
As of around mid-day the Autumnal Equinox will arrive and officially will be the beginning of our Fall Season.
As usual, though, someone forgot to tell the Weather Gods.
The mercury here is forecast to top out in the 80's today and for the upcoming several days.
Nevertheless the nights will be cool enough to open the house once again, eventually the leaves will begin changing colors and then falling to the ground and, hopefully for our long drought-stricken area, snow will occasionally drop from the sky.
For those of you who love autumn, it's time for your Happy Dance.
A full sheet pan heading for the oven.
Juicy, spicy deliciousness upon emerging from the cauldron.
That gal of mine can cook!
