I particularly like this one:
Patterns of red and yellow light in cup shapes, like you might see at an outdoor pool.

Found a picture of ours from 2023. Though I don't think they still make them.
A cookie decorated like a menorah standing up on a plate. It has candy flames. It was clearly decorated by children under 6.

I think 1 or 2 more stir and roast cycles and they will be done.
A bunch of very lightly browned pumpkin seeds spread out on a pan.

This cookie cutter set has a rather odd set of "dinosaurs" that it includes.
A set of colorful pictures of dinosaurs with labels, including stegosaurus, sauropod, pterosaur, hadrosaurus, ceratops, Tyrannosaurus, and Dodo.

It probably wasn't the *best response, because this ex-Baptist won't get the reference. But I couldn't help myself.
A BlueSky exchange. A: also, go fuck yourself. Atheism isn't a belief, like Judaism. 🤮🤣 S: lol Judaism isn't a belief A: Tell me more. lol. What's the Torah? Me: Don't do unto others what you don't want done to you. The rest is commentary. If you want to, you can study further.

Never been to this park but it is lovely. A good place for contemplation and sin throwing. Next time we'll go for a longer hike.
A gentle green stream in the woods Some people walking up a paved path in a green forest.

It's not hekshered, but I am glad I was able to find this for my personal Sukkot tradition.
A jar labeled "Korean honey citron tea" with a yellow jam inside.

Finally got around to hanging up the painting I inherited from my uncle. My grandfather painted it. I remember it hanging in the hallway at my grandparents' house.
A painting of a man with a faint mustache in traditional Mexican garb. He has a straw hat and a red and white striped cloth draped over his shoulder. His hands are on his lap, and he is gazing at the distance.

Came back from a week's vacation to find loads of green beans on our 3 plants, a good number of tomatoes, and even more figs.
2 bowls full of figs, and a plastic container with green beans and yellow cherry tomatoes on a kitchen counter. Behind them is a large collection of filled jars. A container full of green beans.

Planted a few wildflowers this year and I spotted a pretty visitor today.
A yellow swallowtail butterfly with four black stripes on each wing, sitting on an orange flower.

The whole progression from roving to scarf 🧶:
Three braided bits of roving in yellow, red, and orange. Red, orange and yellow skein of yarn, stretched out on a niddy-noddy. A red, orange, and yellow scarf in subtle shades. There is a bit of a gradient from red to yellow.

Challah came out looking so nice and shiny this week.
Two loaves of challah on a tray. One has black seeds, one is plain. They are both 4-braids.

I don't work with garter stitch much, but the baby blanket I made when I was having my third is a beautiful, simple garter pattern. #ShowMeYourKnits
A spiral-like patterned blanket with stripes of off-white, yellow, and orange.

My tomatoes are monsters this year. Over 5 feet tall! This is just 3 plants!
An overflowing bush. You can't tell where one plant begins and another ends.
