I always think these are so cheery.  And they have very tasty seeds.

You’d think I took this in a meadow somewhere, but no….this is just a planting at the end of someone’s driveway up the street.

The theme of the week is “flowers.”
This bud vase sits in the corner by our kitchen table. The flowers are fake, which is the only kind we can have; otherwise, the cats eat them.
And yes, that is Nick Fury keeping watch over everything.

Newton is electing a mayor,  city councilors and some other stuff in November.  And the signs are already out in full force.

For those of you unfamiliar with it,  “Reefer Madness” was a PSA film that was made in 1936 condemning the evils of marijuana.  It was ridiculously over the top, and has turned into something of a cult classic. Then someone thought it would make a good musical….and they were 100% right.

The woman I help on Thursdays lives in a building with many people who speak Chinese or Russian, so all the signs in the place are in 3 languages, possibly soon to be 4 if they add Spanish.

So this plant was put in the ground, dug up and replanted, and then dug up and replanted again.  It just keeps coming back from the dead.
(and yes, we do refer to it as the “Lazarus bush.”)

Sometimes you see signs like this posted at stores and other businesses.  But really, it’s just a generally good idea that we should follow in life.

I was out doing errands and stuff all day, and when I got home, I realized a hadn’t taken a photo.  So I walked to the corner and took this one.  And that’s that.

This aisle in the store not only sells tortillas, refried beans and taco mix, it also sells soy sauce, udon noodles, pad thai, curry paste, naan, tahini, digestive biscuits and the occasional jar of gefilte fish.  Pretty sure none of those would be considered “Latin America.”  I actually pointed this out to corporate once, and they didn’t seem too happy, but then nothing ever came of it.
