This one is my favorite. A bubble fuchsia, with a new lease on Bloom. A once sad rescue begonia, now about to burst out of it's pot, and blooming like mad.

Phoebe Biscuits, the kitten with the mittens, is polydactyl. I just discovered that the claw on one of the extra toes is growing in a tight circle and was digging into the toe. I clipped it off but I'll likely have to do that for the rest of her life. Watch out for that!

It's unheard of! We went out to do a final cleanup of our "extra" garden (the one gifted to us for use by our 96 YO neighbor), and there were so many still viable tomatillos! I scooped all of the good ones up as we tore out the plants. Now cooking into Chile Verde!
Pot full of late garden tomatillos now cooking down into Chile Verde. These things just refused to stop giving!

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow Lane returns! The Headless Farmer is now joined by two skeletal friends and a faithful hound. Our neighborhood hayride party is this weekend.
A red and white tractor, with a pumpkin headed skeleton driver, two skeletal buddies in the loader bucket, a faithful hound willing to howl and a couple of crows. These two skeletons in the tractor bucket are holding hands, because they are pals.

My favorite sign from the Olympia No Kings
A No Kings protester holds a graphic sign - black background, three triangular shapes, the right and left ones look like KKK hoods, the middle one looks like the orange fool.

Text: "Framing these 30 year old Nazi incels as "kids" while simultaneously framing all the black teenagers shot by police as "adults" is exactly as racist as it sounds.

An X post: "Scalise refers to the No Kings rally as a "hate America Rally"", comment response "It's literally a bunch of people who don't want a king - I can't think of anything more American than that?"
