Starting off spooky season at @trylon.org with this George Romero flick. The best scene was the one with the Donovan song of the same name.
A movie marquee that reads: "*NOW SHOWING*
SEASON OF
THE WITCH  700." There is a fake spooky spiderweb and a black plastic spider on the marquee.

Pitbull Weekend outtake.

My mom has been pressuring me to get my passport and I almost paid extra to have it expedited to get her off my back. I applied for it 11 days ago and it was delivered today. Really glad I saved that $60 and just went with regular service!

Pitbull Weekend is officially over, but I will always have the memories. I will also always have this amazing merch.

There is also a triangle-shaped logo that says "PB" and a patch with a soccer ball in it that says "FC BALD-E LEAGUE."The back of the soccer jersey with "PITBULL" in black above a large "305," also in black.A black tote bag that says "PITBULL" with a picture of him wearing sunglasses in white.The back of the tote bag with text that says "I'M BACK."

Finished fourth at bar trivia tonight, which wasn't too bad considering our team of three competed against teams of six and more. I felt especially smart as my history degree came into play and I was able to name the German building that burned in February 1933, so that was worth all the debt.

This KOTH account, @garfieldscreens.bsky.social, and @gumbyscreens.bsky.social are amazing for making stickers. Behold some of my favorites (with a cameo by Olive the cat).

In order, we have Bobby Hill making a neutral face, Garfield shrugging, Bobby Hill looking scared, my tortoiseshell cat licking her lips, Garfield looking eager, Dale Gribble shrugging, Hank and Bobby Hill screaming, Nancy Gribble doing a news report, Hank Hill reading from a piece of paper, Garfield yawning, Minga from Gumby pointing, and Garfield in a pose like he is presenting something.

Been a while since I've been out on the neighborhood trail. The weather was perfect today so I had to get out there. No wildlife to see but I did spot some Jack-in-the-pulpit berries. A++, would walk again.

Every Halloween, Temptations puts out some absolutely tasteless and offensive treats. Olive loves them and I love giving them to her.
A three-ounce pouch of Temptations MixUps cat treats in the flavor "Tasty Human (chicken, liver, and beef flavors)." A cartoon on the front of the bag shows a cat wearing a witch hat with its tongue hanging out stirring a cauldron with green liquid and a human arm and leg sticking out. Other text on the bag reads "treats for cats," "under 2 calories per treat," and "for a limited time."

Today is my friend @coldchef.bsky.social's birthday, and when he sent me a card that said “LONG HIKE,” I knew what I needed to do: a long hike! Today my husb & I went to Nerstrand Big Woods State Park to see Hidden Falls, which is kind of dry right now, but it was a great hike nonetheless!

Yo, MSP feed, anyone been to Nerstrand Big Woods State Park recently? Curious to know what kind of flowers are poppin' down there. I'm especially looking for ghost pipes. I can't get enough of that freaky monotropa uniflora!

I didn’t know I needed a dachshund hot dog purse and then I saw this one for $10. squishable.com/products/squ...

The State Fair may be over but we will always have our Strib lip balms, at least until they get forgotten in a pants pocket and run through the laundry. But real talk: this year’s flavor was disgusting. Lady slippers taste gross.
A small white tube of lip balm with a green label. The label reads “Minnesota Nice” with a drawing of an elephant wearing a crown of lady slipper flowers.

I didn't really need any more pajama pants but then I was in the Adam Turman booth at the state fair and these pants screamed at me that I wouldn't amount to jack squat unless I bought them. So, yeah, wearing them now.

Great hike and great company! I had a blast showing @kcmpls.bsky.social exploding jewelweed seed pods, ghost pipes, and closed bottle gentian (pictured). This gentian is pollenated by small bees after big bees chomp holes in the closed flowers, and we saw some evidence of that today!

Any locals* interested in a hike with me tomorrow morning (9/7) at the arboretum in Chanhassen? I can get you a free ticket into the arb and show you ghost pipe flowers, jewelweed, and closed bottle gentian. Hike is about 1.7 miles total with some moderate hills. *mutuals or friends of mutuals
