Happy Grant Wood’s birthday to all who celebrate!
The painting “Woman with Plants” by Grant Wood (1929). A painting of an elderly white woman with grey hair pulled back from her lined face. She wears a long-sleeved black dress with a blue pointed collar, a cameo brooch at the neck, and a light blue sleeveless apron with rickrack at the neck and sleeve openings. She holds a snake plant in a pot at her right side, it grows as high as her hairline. The background is a rural scene with trees, a red house, and rolling hills.

Terriers
A redheaded man wearing jeans, a black tee, and a green and blue plaid flannel looks to his right. A shorter brown-haired man wearing jeans, a white tee, and a pink zip-up hoodie smiles and leans against the wall of a house. There is a hose coiled on a holder behind the brown-haired man. This is a still from the TV show Terriers, the men are Donal Logue and Michael Raymond-James.

My niece and her corn clip are sending you all the love and support! I am too!
Side picture of a small girl with curly red hair. The top and sides of her hair are pulled back with a clip that looks like an ear of corn.

Hey @washingtonpost.com when you write a (good!) story about scientific research involving the Old Order Amish of northern Indiana, please use a picture of OO Amish from northern Indiana. These women and girl are from Lancaster County PA.
Two Lancaster County Amish adult women, one in a dark green dress with black apron, the other in a medium blue dress with black apron, walk on a farm. Both women wear white “heart-shaped” kapps characteristic of Lancaster County. The woman in a blue holds the hand of a preschool-age girl in a light blue dress and a black pinafore apron. Text reads: Only 7 percent of Amish children had a positive response to one or more common allergens in a skin prick test, compared with more than half of the general U.S. population. (Sarah L. Voisin/The Washington Post)

Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally?
A small child is ready for winter in a coat with “fur”-lined hood, cozy scarf, pants, and bright pink shoes. Their smiling face just peeks out from inside the hood. The background is a deck in autumn; many leaves are on the ground.

Good vibes sent! I’m on vacation, so the good vibes are extra peaceful and relaxing right now. Here’s my hosts’ cat using me as their new fave napping spot
