Cloudy, foggy, muggy, warm day plus a rudeness unparalleled . . .

Yay! Last evening I finally got a picture of a bird on the new birdbath.

Foggy day at My Old Man River - Northern Mocking Bird


Puppy's Pop on the edge of the Big Muddy

Normally we can see right across the Mississippi.

We also made it to South Park. Puppy's Pop is on the left in the background. Mom and son are having a blast racing around.

Probably the rudest person I have seen in action. We went to  St. Francisville for breakfast. With all of the Covid rules in place it is difficult to find a place to sit in our favorite, very small cafe. There was one small table we could have sat at but it had a cell phone on it so we figured that someone must be coming right back from the bathroom to reclaim their table; there was no other table available.  The barista caught my eye as we entered  and he immediately started to make my coffee-mocha freezy thing but I explained we didn't yet have a place to sit. He pointed to the small table we had passed but I told him there was someone's phone on it. He went to the table, picked up the phone and gave it to a pain in the butt lady who was seated at a table for 5 with only one other lady sitting across from her. She was not happy to get her phone back. It seems she was either saving a table for more friends or she didn't want anyone to sit across from her! The table was at a very safe distance from her much larger table. She was a blousy, middle-aged hag with poofy dyed hair, a pain in the derriere as she kept the poor waitress busy refilling something or other all the time we were there - probably a regular!

But the day was still wonderful as we descended to My Mississippi in the very heavy fog. After a short photo taking session we came home and changed to hot weather clothes before we headed for South Park.
