Rhododendron in Hendricks Park (January 2023)

According to the brochure, the peak season is April and May, but one begins blooming as early as February. However, this one seemed to be at its best in January.

Hayao Miyazaki Movie Posters

We rented a home in Eugene, Oregon this past weekend to get everyone together for my son’s birthday. The above was the scene above one of the beds in the home. The other rooms were full of movie and comic posters, memorabilia, and other cool stuff. My son walked through the place and after a bit asked, “Is this xxxx xxxxxx’s house?!?” We didn’t know who that was, but he was correct. Unbeknownst to us when we booked the place, we were staying in the home of a famous comic book artist.

(a small part of the) Petersen Rock Garden (Redmond, Oregon)

When it comes to Oregon oddities, the Petersen Rock Garden property probably cracks the top 10. We were there in March of 2021. In September of 2022 the place sold for $800,000. Google currently lists it as “closed” so maybe a restoration is in the works?
