Door hinge. 1904

Brick Street in St Louis
2014.
There's still many brick paved streets in STL that haven't been covered with asphalt. Here's one The Hill not far from where the Hydraulic Brick CO was located. There's mortar between the bricks. The streets near the curbs were smooth as glass and easy to ride.
Hydraulic Brick was owned by T.S. Eliot's father.

My recent Goldens are mostly white. The first Golden looked as if he'd jumped out of a fire.

The Huntress - Your Daily Golden Moment
Hey everbody!
Guess what!?
Late last night I told my Mah'mm to let me out.
I found a possum!
I snatched that possum from the tree and brought it to the door. I wanted to take it inside to my special place where I eat my treats. My mah'mm opened the door and was yelling at me and wouldn't let me inside. She kept telling me to 'drop it and eventually I did. I left it and was allowed inside.
It played dead and my mom was very scared to open the door thinking it would bolt into the house!
THAT would have been a swell plan for me. Eventually she dropped a mop on it and it bolted. Meanwhile I ran past her back into the yard! I was ripping out all her fencing looking for another possum.
I had to sleep on the floor which was ok because my hips really hurt and I didn't want to jump up into the bed with them.

St Louis Golden
Number One Daughter and her first encounter with water which was interesting. She couldn't see it but she could smell and hear it. She dipped a paw into what she deduced was there.

Ken and Glenda were our favorite AirBnB guests.
Ken also made for me pretty portraits of Bellie (below).

On the Street Where I Live - St Louis Brick
"I have often walked down this street before
But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before
All at once am I several stories high
Knowing I'm on the street where you live"
The best brick on the block nest to our pink brick.
