73 yr old here. In my youth, I was afraid to go 'nekked' in the lockerroom. Afraid I would be judged; afraid I'd get hard at the sight of other guys. Then I realized I was alright (thick 7" down there) & while it was fun to scope others, I never got aroused! Still fun to scope out the meat.

While we were off cruising, our neighbors, the WhiteTailed Deer, so thoughtfully stripped the leaves from our horseradish stalks. Not pictured here, they also deheaded every chrysanthemum blossom from the plants in our upper garden. I hope they got a gut ache. #pests

Here in the Big Woods, the seasons are changing. Dark when I arise at 5:45AM. We turn on the lights at supper after 6:00PM. No more trou dropping on the deck; high temps are in the 60'sF now. Ah, well. Great memories.

This autumn red hottie looks so familiar. Got an ID?

You know, I have never been a pumpkin spice fan. Keep it in the pies! I like my apple cider!

When I was in high school, I didn't like Frost's work. Then I heard recordings of his readings. Now I am 73. I read him all the time.

Thank you. Wilfred Owen is one of my favorite poets; one of my all time favorite poems is his 'Dulce et Decorum est.' I first read it in 1969. I was a high school senior. It was the Viet Nam War era. In the draft lottery, I was 105. They got up to 85 that years. I read it every 11/11.

Do these stripes make my rod look big? ❤️🔥❤️‍🔥😈👅💦

Yummmmm!

I'm hungry...❤️🔥❤️‍🔥😈👅💦

I could never tan nude; I need the affirmation of TAN LINES! ❤️🔥❤️‍🔥😈👅💦

#tbt Florida Memories July 1982, Woodland Villas, Gainesville, FL Ah, Youth!

I'm in! Good luck!

What AI app do you create with? I have tried using ChatGPT, but will not allow me to create 'spicy' images! I use Mac, iPad, iPhone...

Cherries have been inexpensive this year. And delicious! #cherrycobbler🍒

The peony patch is right below the hook that holds our bird feeder in winter. A sunflower seed must have germinated in the protection of the peonies. The stalk is 4-ft tall; more flowers look to be blooming! #crazyplants

Can he bake a cherry pie, Billy Boy, Billy Boy? 🎶🎶🎶

In another life (1982-1987) we lived in Gainesville. I anchored the local breaks of Morning Edition on WUFT-FM; The Husband worked at Holbrook Travel, for Juan & Giovanna Holbrook. The only time I miss it is February through April. Spring in MN is mud, then mosquitoes!

False sunflowers, or Heliopsis helianthoides. Happily, perennials. At Balsam Hollow.

We live in the Big Woods of northern MN. No quiet mornings here! Crows, jays, & this time of year, songbirds, like noisy robins! Then, we NEVER complain about the loons, nesting across the lake from us.

Amen, Sistah! I am making some progress on my opus, because I am in a writers' group. Three of us gather once a month & share our output. It's an incentive. A deadline. It helps. A bit.

See the parks & green spaces. I enjoyed the National Gallery. I feel all the world capitals have become the same. When I travel, I want get out, see the countryside, the land. Small villages.

#TBT Children in the North Florida scrub. The lot we bought off Tower Road, cleared & ready to build our home. June, 1984. #soyoung

Happy Thursday, all! Let’s get the party started!

He was so young when he wrote that. The 1991 film was never a big success. I like his writing!

De mon balcone. Looks like a Monet painting outside; smells like a Paris chimney. Three minutes outside & my eyes burn. My throat hurts. Safely sealed up. On North Roosevelt. #fires

My favorite season! At Balsam Hollows... Lilies in bloom!

On July 6, 1964, a movie called A Hard Day's Night premiered in London, England. It featured four pop music members of a Liverpool band called The Beatles. It was in black & white, as many movies still were at that time. 12 songs were jammed into its 87 minutes. Predating MTV by 18 years.

Another Lefty? Always nice to see!

Time for Peach Cobbler … #summertreats at Balsam Hollow
