Know the feeling! That there Barely Pop'll help see you's through it; works for me.
Honestly, I was thinking of labeling this 2025-21st Century Quarterpole Year Of The BLT!
After considering the...um...discerning nature of TJ Blue Grass State contributors, I had the...er...Horse Sense to research the Racing metaphor Quarterpole, which revealed that it tended to describe the LAST quarter rather than the FIRST.

Glass half full? It's not off'n the table for 2075.

Canāt speak for anyone else, but the odds of me being vertical for 2075 are just south of fiddy-fiddy.
On the bright side I have T on the counter, L in the garden, and B in the reefer, so things are looking up for 2025!

Day 7 of 2025-21st Century Silver Jubilee Year Of The BLT!, 359 remain. Today's selections for Monday Morning (+ 1) BLT Brunch, are a nice, firm Purple -n- Yeller from Metro Market:
Bottoms up, near flawless undercarriage, am I right?:
Sliced, 1st glistening lookers of the year!:
Ready for delicious! Exceptionally good taste, 'specially the Yeller. And both received the highest compliment ("pretty good!") the lovely and long suffering Mrs. Gotch would ever accord her "least favorite Tomato" (store bought)
Her O(pen) F(ace)er:

Day 13 of 2025-21st Century Silver Jubilee Year Of The BLT!, 352 remain. The 1st TRUE Monday Morning BLT Brunch of the New Year's selections are a nice Reddy, and a Greeller (Green-n-Yeller bi-color) from Metro Market, via Llano Growers de MĆ©xico:

Flip side, li'l dimple on the Greeller's keister:
Sliced:
And ready:
Both firm-n-delicious; the Reddy was mild with a little tartness, the Greeller was mild and al dente.The Gotch
