New Day Cafe: Last Summer Sunday [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2023-09-17

Good morning, Cafe! September is moving along and bringing us closer to autumn. Autumn starts on the 23rd, but we’ll deal with that another time. After such a brutal summer...I cannot wait, even though the summer hasn’t been as bad for me. What a wonderful change from the last eight summers, though!!

Grab a cuppa. Maybe a nosh. Get comfy. Spend some time with us.

Before I forget….yes, I have missed you all so much!! It was brought to my attention that some of you might think that someone at DK said or did something to make me stay away. NOTHING could be further from the truth. I have had nothing but love and acceptance and friendship here, and I treasure it (and you all) more than I can say.

The last few months have been a challenge for me. I hit a brick wall some months ago, where all the choices and changes of the last however many years just caught up with me all at once. I’ve been struggling to find my way. In addition, there are some new physical issues to deal with. All boring stuff to anyone who is not me, I am sure.

I needed the time away. But I owe my beloved DK so much, I had to keep doing my diaries to the best of my ability.

Never doubt that I love and admire and respect and appreciate you all, more than words can ever say.

Have a cuppa, and let’s see what I’ve scrounged this week!

All are welcome to join the fun, the silliness, the conversations. If you don’t know...just ask! Some things really do require a bit of explanation. There will be a few surprises along the way, all good ones, we hope. We are here to keep building the Daily Kos Community. We post Mon-Sun at 10:30 a.m. Eastern. Pie fights will be met with outrageous ridicule and insults. Trolls will be incinerated and served at the next group BBQ. As briquettes.

My adoration of Flaco is well known, but this...this just tripped me OUT!! Lookit the talons on this bad boy! No wonder the rats run in fear of him!

x Many of you ask/remark about Flaco's feet (and talons!). So I thought you might enjoy this close-up! Those murder mitts do look deadly!🦉🐀🦉#Flaco #CentralPark #birdcpp pic.twitter.com/kTqrZxmFOw — Above_96th (@Above96th) September 15, 2023

With autumn only days away, it is good to remember….

Autmn may be coming, but there are still butterflies and puppies to admire!

A reminder of the value of reading….

Living with a House Panther is always a challenge, but always well worth it…..
