The Gay Curmudgeon
@hermitsdaily.bsky.social
I enjoy art, photography, garden, dogs, dolls, books, psychotronia, and general grumps.
Queen Canna, having survived her third Pennsylvania winter, is back, and ready to reign over the garden the remainder of summer. #pennsylvaniagarden #pennsylvaniagardens #pennsylvaniagardener #globalwarming #climatechange #motherearth #environmentalconcern #environmentalconcerns #pollution
My late mother, Barbie, used to make fun of me as "old fashioned" because I like line dried linens. This week I'm unzipping all the upholstery and washing it, along with the curtains. I picture her chuckling, and shaking her head from beyond the grave. #linedried #clothesline #linedriedlinens
The biggest Do-it-yourself Project I ever tackled was building my first house. My father and I did all the work except for the masonry. 1978. #house #stickbuilt #framing #houseframing #lumber #lumberyard #insulation #masonry #foundatiion #cinderblock #cinderblocks #doityourself

Decades ago, I covered my mother's 1950's Hula Hoop with thick jute, preparing to recreate a wall hanging I'd seen. It soon morphed into an Herb-Drying Rack, and has remained one ever since. #home #homedecor #homechores #homely #oldfashioned #herb #herbs #herbdrying #herbdryingrack #herbdryingracks
Mega-talented English Comedian Diane Morgan stars in the new Britcom "Ann Droid." She portrays a helper robot to an older lady, Sue Johnston, in this heart-warming peak into the imminent future. #britcom #sitcom #anndroid #dianemorgan #comedian #britishcomedian #englishcomedian #talent

One of three Hibiscus bushes I planted last summer, that survived the winter and are all thriving. #pennsylvaniagarden #pennsylvaniagardens #pennsylvaniagardener #globalwarming #climatechange #motherearth #environmentalconcern #environmentalconcerns #pollution #stoppollution #industrialproblems

Our hosts' dog, Cosmo, graciously came out to the pool to help me set up my dolls during Thursday's photo shoot. Great-grandfather's Funeral Director's scarf is used as a wedding runner for the session. #doll #dolls #dollcollector #dollcollectors #dollphotographer #dollphotographers #dollphoto
I loved my Bridge Street apartment in Mifflintown, and often return there in dreams. 1977. #apartment #apartments #apartmentlife #apartmentliving #landlord #landlords #landlording #oldhouse #victorianhouse #refurbish #refurbishment #vintagehome #vintagehomes #vintagehouse #vintagehouses

I've designed, refurbished, and zhuzhed up many interiors in my life, but perhaps my favorite is the primary bedroom of my first house in Pennwood, based on a set of Sears linens. Forty years later, I painted the hallway of our retirement home with these same stripes, only in different colors.

Queen and King Canna have both survived three Pennsylvania winters. Climate Change is real. Our Gardening Zone is warming. #pennsylvaniagarden #pennsylvaniagardens #pennsylvaniagardener #globalwarming #climatechange #motherearth #environmentalconcern #environmentalconcerns #pollution

We were thrilled when TUBI offered 2015's "SAMURAI COP 2" for our viewing pleasure. The Riffed version of 1991's "SAMURAI COP" has long been a favorite, and the sequel not only features superb actor Joe Estevez but adds auteur Tommy Wiseau to the cast! #riffed #rifftrax #wetheriffed #authorsmith
