Do You, Hurkle Durkle?
We Hurkle Durkle.
We pretty much love to Hurkle Durkle.
The words Hurkle Durkle have become a trend on social media. People are sharing the words left and right. I never knew what it was until I googled it. Here is what I found. According to Google AI and the Urban Dictionary, “It is a Scottish saying that has been around for 200+ years. It means to stay in bed way past the time you are suppose to wake up.”
I love to linger in bed and drink tea. My to-do list can wait. How about you?
Transition
Have you sensed it? Change is unfolding gradually. In the morning, the same concert of crickets fills the air, replacing Birdsong. The sun rises later in the mornings (more time for Hurkle Durkle 😉) and it sets earlier. The evenings are getting cooler, which creates the perfect conditions for restful sleep. I am still not letting go of summer, but I think this is Mother Nature’s way of preparing me for Autumn.
Transitional Sights
When I notice these signs in nature, I am reminded that Autumn is on its way. Here are just a few of our late Summer views.

Street Posts
I have noticed around Lakeside that more people are painting street posts. I believe they are constructing them, painting them, and placing them in their yards. I shared with you about our street posts in the past. You can read about them here.
The Borough planned on tearing the street posts down but Lakeside Association decided it would be fun to paint them!
Here are the new posts I have come upon on my walks. It’s always a delight to see them, New or Old!
Lunch Date with Sweet Man
We dined at a stunning open-air rooftop restaurant overlooking the Bay of Lake Erie called Oliver’s Rooftop The breathtaking views and delicious food made for a lovely lunch date. We both enjoyed the Walleye Sandwich with sweet potato fries which was our lunch and dinner.
Here is a picture of the tower from the summer of 2022.
Interesting Deer
Before I sign off, I have to share this deer we saw driving home the other day. After sharing this photo of the deer on Facebook, a friend suggested it might be a Leucistic Deer due to its partial loss of pigment. This deer wasn’t a white albino deer but rather a taupe color, distinct from the honey-brown color of the other deer in our area. It’s quite possible that we saw a rare sighting of a Leucistic Deer.
Thank You
It was a fun week here in Pennsylvania.
As I always try to convey, we certainly appreciate all of you. Thank you for joining us for another Tuesday Tidbits.
We are wishing all of you a wonderful week ahead. Enjoy what this upcoming week brings to you. And whatever you have planned… make every day count and be thankful for your Blessings.
We hope you get to Hurkle Durkle at least one morning this week.
