It’s been a very St. Louisy couple days: Yesterday we picked out our tree at Ted Drewes’ and today I went to the Cherokee Print Bazaar where I got the Eurasian Tree Sparrow print by Dan Zettwoch and then Kaldi’s for their ‘Tis the Season blend.

📷🐦 A few morning birds.
A while back Schnucks told me I won a game-worn signed jersey from Jackie Robinson Day in 2021 for “rounding up at the register” for Folds of Honor (a contest I wasn’t aware of). Today, Austin Dean’s jersey arrived. Neat. I will never not love the chain stitching.
And here are a few close-ups of the #BCBS Double Barrel. I normally don’t worry too much about the variants, but I’m happy to have found this one.
🍻 Happy #BCBS day to all who celebrate. Pictured: my 7-year vertical, the Double Barrel variant I found, and the new (and, for comparison old) bottlecap on the standard.
And for an after-dessert snack, some foraged black walnuts. A lot of work, but pretty tasty.
📷 🦌 Found a deer.
📷🌇 Six years ago this evening I took this photo of a sunset at St. Louis Public Radio. (iPhone 6 photo)
Got @birbigs’ book from the library this morning and well over halfway through. This one got me good. Oof.
🍁 There were no leaves in my yard when I finished mowing it less than 24 hours ago.
