I believe in compassion and restorative measures. I believe in disability justice, mutual aid, and building a bigger table.

There are too many cideries, artistic pop ups, entertainment events and top rated restaurants or food carts to select from...I can't decide which farmers market to patron, who's dog nose to boop on my walks or which vintage theater pub to visit on rainy days. It's SO hard here.
Xxxx from Portland!

I found the agitators! They are 2 unicorns, giraffe, canary, panda, mouse, dinosaur, mouse, Stitch, and the frog! And they are right outside of Portland's ICE facility! 🤣🤣🤣

Haha. In reality, its not...but it is a nook off of the kitchen and not as large as the dining room. 😁

Its so fun! We always sang it on our walks when Danny was little. He just loves the birds.

Thst will be spectacular! 🤩

Our Robin birds are not as large as the crows we have, but fairly big. They come along in the rain and hunt for worms. Haha that reminds me of a children's song I used to sing my kids.

The Robin here is quite large by comparison I think?

My pot of tea and teacup selection is dedicated to you today! The sweet bird you saw made me think of this cup. 🌺

Grama had a master gardening certification, so she knew about as much as one could. But now that she's not available to ask, its a nice resource.

Its across town but near the Horsebrass pub, which we enjoy visiting sometimes. There are nurseries near me that are great if you aren't looking for anything out of the ordinary, but the people at Portland Nursery know their stuff and they get a variety of very interesting plants .

Now this is just what your mum needed! What a fantastically cheerful idea.
My favorite nursery here is called Portland Nursery. They are the place to go here for specialty needs or advice!

Thank you.

I have noticed this so much in my 40's. Maybe that is why my mother referred to it as "your era of power."

I seem to care less and less about ideals I've painfully lived and intentionally un-learned.

Its funny how once you learn that solidly, you get the ick more often than a spark and can observe the spark from a safer distance, so you don't light your own house on fire.

Some evenings are for hot pierogies and tea with a dear cat purring nearby, waiting to occupy your lap.

Nice! I love baking bread in a cast iron. It gets that heat just right for a good crust
