I got to sleep in the woods by the river and see the stars and it helps so much.

Swimming hole on the Clackamas River. This area had a very large burn about 10 or 15 years ago but along the river itself it was patchy so old trees are providing shade while young willows and alders spring up.

Oh, were you making the bed? #Caturday

Clio and Langston, who are the helpingest kitties, prevent me from adding the rest of the sheets and blankets by fully occupying the bed.

May I someday trust someone like Langston trusts me. #Caturdau

Langston cat is belly up and snuggling. It is not a trap.

And is this bee blue? Because they sure look blue #bloomscrolling

payslee@payslee· 27d

Bees love dahlias, an occasional thread. #bloomscrolling #pdx

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars?

I miss you Wy'east. These coy glances across a crowded sky are not enough. I need to touch you again.

Two carved owls watched over the entrance of a very old brownstone in Manhattan.

Sigh, this had been going so well. Putting aside for now until tomorrow when i will figure out how to fix or frog back. #knitsky #ShowMeYourKnits

A loose live stitch has unraveled itself about 5 rows, and near the edge is a mystery vortex in what should be a nice smooth collar.

That reminds me, how is Space Force doing these days?

US armed services flags at the Howard Beach Station, with the Space Force flag at the bottom.

Lovely view of Wy'east coming home Friday evening. I miss the meadows. #BlueSkyMonday

Looking south from the airplane at Mount Hood. Hardly any snow left, but at least not on fire yet. It would be nice if the world took a little break from burning.

Despite this photo, Langston is an actual cat and not a cartoon. Langston would VERY much like to meet your cat and play. Clio would like to push Langston off the shelf and into the sink.

Langston cat is meowing and looks too cute to be real. His sister Clio is curled up behind him, giving him the stinkeye.

I've gotten really fond of that building over the last few years.

The con ed building through chain link from the FDR drive side.

I love my neighborhood. #PDX #DorkGirlSummer

It is very warm at the Dork Station today. June 1, 2026.

Beans are good for your health and well-being and you should have as many as possible. #Caturday

Langston shows off his bean in the window box above the sink

And just in time, the whole city smells like roses. #bloomscrolling #pdx

Yellow rose that has lived at this spot longer than I have.

He is on the job.

Langston hopes you find some simple joys this #Caturday

payslee@payslee· May 14

Clio would like you to spend some time outside today. #Catsky

Clio climbs the screen door while Langstons waits to see if this results in the door opening.

If I were a ghost with a head of 100 tiny spiders...

Tiny spiders on a nest strung between lavender stalks.

From yesterday...

Even in the City, dappled light is perfect.

The Chrysler building will always be my favorite. It plays well against every other design element of neighboring signs, buildings, lampposts, and sky. April 2026.

Spent my travel time today working on a Traveler hoodie. Super happy with how it's going so far. #knitsky

Working a bottom up sweater for the first time. And any kind of sweater for the second time. Hope this goes better than the last one.

Glittering spirals and gleaming shards populate a sparkling surface.

Sunday tasks: postponed.

Langston ensures that I don't attempt anything disruptive, like de-chaosing the living room, without easing slowly into the day first.

payslee@payslee· Apr 17

Give me you lunch. That is all. #pdx #portland

A reminder from my #coyote neighbor to take a minute for some self care and sunshine. #Portland #pdx
