I voted in Oregon‘s election! Go vote, wherever you are!

A blue silhouette of the state of Oregon, “I Voted” displayed prominently in yellow over it. That’s the colors of the state flag, btw. I mean, you probably knew that. It just occurred to me. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s time to block.

A dark purple, green, blue & magenta handknit scarf and a dark blue handknit vest are in a plastic container. The container is in a sink; the sink’s faucet is streaming water down on the knitted items which are beginning to float.

Exhausted doggo is exhausted

A little golden chiweenie—part dachshund part chihuahua, part God knows what—is crashed out inside a car on the feet of a person in plaid pants.

Among the last of the roses from the garden. No scent, alas

Three coral-tinged homegrown roses are clustered in a vase on a wood tabletop.

Today is @velvetackbar.bsky.social's and my 31st wedding anniversary. I could not have had a happier 31 years with anyone else. Happy anniversary, sweetheart. 💝

A portly, middle-aged woman in a purple handknit shawl and a black dress stands with her arms around a handsome, middle-aged gentleman in a navy linen suit. They are posing on a footbridge above a tranquil lake at a wedding. She has an eye patch covering the left lens of her glasses; he is wearing glasses as well as a nastily trimmed mustache and goatee. They are smiling. They are happy.

#CostaRica is a beautiful place. This is the view from the little restaurant we went to with our good friend Chalo yesterday. Here till Sunday.
#vacation

A vista of San José, Costa Rica from the Monteverde Tiquicinos (I think it's Tiquicinos, my memory may be faulty). It's bigger than Portland, about 1.5 million people as opposed to 1.1 million.
