Happy Grant Wood’s birthday to all who celebrate!

The painting “Woman with Plants” by Grant Wood (1929). A painting of an elderly white woman with grey hair pulled back from her lined face. She wears a long-sleeved black dress with a blue pointed collar, a cameo brooch at the neck, and a light blue sleeveless apron with rickrack at the neck and sleeve openings. She holds a snake plant in a pot at her right side, it grows as high as her hairline. The background is a rural scene with trees, a red house, and rolling hills.

Hey @washingtonpost.com when you write a (good!) story about scientific research involving the Old Order Amish of northern Indiana, please use a picture of OO Amish from northern Indiana. These women and girl are from Lancaster County PA.

Two Lancaster County Amish adult women, one in a dark green dress with black apron, the other in a medium blue dress with black apron, walk on a farm. Both women wear white “heart-shaped” kapps characteristic of Lancaster County. The woman in a blue holds the hand of a preschool-age girl in a light blue dress and a black pinafore apron.

Text reads: Only 7 percent of Amish children had a positive response to one or more common allergens in a skin prick test, compared with more than half of the general U.S. population. (Sarah L.
Voisin/The Washington Post)

Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally?

A small child is ready for winter in a coat with “fur”-lined hood, cozy scarf, pants, and bright pink shoes. Their smiling face just peeks out from inside the hood. The background is a deck in autumn; many leaves are on the ground.
