Remembering
Poppies from my garden. Of the two I’m the foreground, one is red with a black center and the other a bright pink. More red poppies are in the background.

Art
A revolutionary style poster with a person in silhouette and a background of red and orange radiating lines. Several sub sandwiches are flying through the air. The text reads, Do you see the people yeet, yeeting the subs of angry men. It is the sandwich of a people who will never be slaves again.

There you are, Janet! How did you get over here?
A corner of my house with laminate flooring and lots of plants and my robot mop is stuck behind the plants in a corner.

That time my kid dressed up as the Unipiper for Halloween and the actual Unipiper reposted.
A kid in a darth Vader mask, holding bagpipes, wearing a t shirt and kilt, pausing while riding a unicycle. He is dressed as Portland’s Unipiper. The screenshot is of a repost of the photo with comment from the Unipiper that says, “ Unipiper Oct 27, 2018 • © Who else still doesn't have a costume yet?? Here's an idea from @jelloblogger - just be The Unipiper!! Sadly, according to my wife, I'm not allowed to be the Unipiper for Halloween So let me know in the comments what you think I should be. Any help is appreciated!!”

It's kind of giving strapless bridesmaid dresses.
6 to 7 women sitting in church pews shown from the back. One can assume they are wearing strapless bridesmaid dresses, and yet from behind, seated in the pew, no dress fabric is visible. They all look completely naked.

STOP! 🛑

Mandatory wallpaper check!

Oh, you should totally watch it. Here’s my costume. Your niece can explain …
Me as Zoey with corn eyes from K Pop Demon Hunters.

But it is a brie flavored Cheeto.
A picture of a door and door jam that has been painted over many times, and yet is still a little chipped and shabby looiking. It has one of those sliding bolt locks, except the bolt has been broken off, and a Cheeto is being used in it's place. There is text in blue just above that says "le Louvre."

DIY popcorn eyes.
Me, dressed in a white bathrobe and white “yangmeori” towel with corn cob eyes that are shooting out popped corn from the movie k-pop demon hunters (it’s not just for kids, yo!) over my shoulder is the eye of the Derpy Tiger.

Working on something …
A picture of a 50-something, still very cool lady wearing sunglasses with cut outs of corn cobs over the lenses, covering her eyes.

Trader Joe’s is bringing in a frog. Nice.
A picture of a sign board at the store Trader Joe’s, that shows a new Frog character. Kids can look for in the store to get a lollipop. The frog’s name is Hoppi.

A photo of my dragon boat paddle with various stickers. The one features is a red square with the words “Will”, “Lamb,” and “it” stacked vertically. If you say those words in order, you say the name of the river. I’ve had teammates see my paddle while we are out on the Willamette River say, “what does will lamb it mean.” I just tell them to say it one more time and when they hear themselves they get it.

If you have to stand in line in front of the cinnamon roll lip mask long enough, you will eventually buy the cinnamon roll lip mask.
A display of little pots of cinnamon roll lip mask at Trader Joe’s. For a while I thought this was a nighttime beauty routine and I was not interested in adding an extra step. But I read the directions and it turns out it’s just lip balm. Sold!

A graphic of the iconic "White Stag" neon sign that is a longtime feature of Portland's waterfront. The sign has had various owners and slogans over the years, but currently, in real life, says, Portland, Oregon, Old town in an outline of the state of Oregon with a jumping white stag over the top. In this graphic, however, it features the outline of the state of oregon, the jumping white stag (with red nose, which is usually reserved for December) and the words, "Release the Epstein Files, Portland, Oregon."

Here’s one of the ghost nebula.
A bunch of stars and probably galaxies and a cloudy blob in the middle that is the ghost nebula. I don’t think it looks like a ghost. Just a blob.

More from war-ravaged Portland.
A picture from a dragon boat on Portland’s Willamette River as we pause near the Hawthorn bridge. The sun is setting behind the city skyline and the sky is a mix of orange, pink and yellow. Our boat isn’t full of paddlers. Usually there are 20 paddlers, but a few were missing on this spectacular evening.

From my morning walk in the Portland burbs.
A picture of a wooded dirt path lined by tall trees. The morning sun is filtered through the leaves of the trees. It’s a crisp, warm beautiful morning for a walk. These woods are just steps from my very suburban neighborhood.

Two panels of Carrie Browenstein on Portlandia in the Beet Sketch. In the first one she says, "911, what's your emergency? Are you able to breathe?" The person says, "yeah." Carrie replies, "Is it beets?" The caller replies, "yeah."

Good morning Bluesky. Here’s a pink flower for you, and for the bees. 🌱🌸🌺

Passed up at Goodwill today, these will surely haunt my dreams.
White ceramic bowls with sculpted faces with cartoonish expressions. They look a bit like little imps. I found out after I left them behind that they are by a German ceramics maker called Fiftyeight and sell for about $25 a piece. I passed them up mostly becuase they don't stack neatly and because there's no way my husband would eat out of one of these.
