I find the inflatable lawn decorations a bit silly. I get that they’re easier to store, but they collapse overnight and look sad. And an inflatable Grim Reaper is just not that scary (unless he happened to be at a protest of some kind).
Dorothy and Toto
The theme of the week is “Halloween.”
This house always has crazy decorations up, all year round. The pink flamingos are a year-round resident.
paper sign
Heading off to today’s protest. And, OK, fine, it’s cardboard. Close enough.
paper checks
There is only one person who I write checks to regularly. Aside from that, I rarely use them anymore.
paper pages
While the tablet is great for taking a whole bunch of titles on vacation, for most reading, I still prefer to hold an actual book.
the joy of paper
I honestly can’t remember the last time I needed to use a paper bag at the grocery store.
round flowers
As I said previously, I’m not a big fan of plants/flowers that are a nice neat ball, which is how chrysanthemums usually are. But I do like looking at the individual flowers, especially ones of such a vibrant color.
rolls of tape
Another picture that isn’t super exciting. It amuses me that there’s so many different types and colors of tape.
round “birds”
Apparently “veal birds” are a traditional dish that was created as a way to stretch expensive meats. Doug and I often have “pork birds” or, in this case, “chicken birds” (which seems a bit silly). He makes it as thin strips of meat, breaded, and rolled up with bacon. Mmmmmm….
drain-o
Not much to say about this photo, but for some reason, I quite like it.
