Dear Liza,
No, I didn’t make a typographical mistake. This adventure took place on Going Street in Northeast Portland. It all started when Auntie Bridgett and I needed some fabric for various upcoming projects and arrived an hour early at Bolt Fabric Boutique.
Wanting to make good use of our time, we took a walk in the neighborhood. We admired the gardens decorations and beautiful, intelligent and inspiring artwork that had been planted, painted and installed.
It was like an art gallery! I like the words ( too big to fit in one photo) “Respect Existence or Expect Resistance”. It is not often that yard decor, political commentary and up cycled road signs come together so beautifully.
There were also more mainstream, but still clever instillations. Decorated poles, flowers made from old tableware,
And this watering-can ivy planter made the neighborhood pretty and interesting.
And of course, Auntie Bridgett never met a sunflower she didn’t like!
We also met a really interesting fellow, but I’ll you about him next time!
Love,
Grandma Judy
Dear Liza
