I die. So funny. Thanks Sara G. Garrett.
All CMU (concrete masonry unit) block walls should be painted like this. How cute.

Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell
(The song was written in the 1970s. Joni’s inspiration for the song, as written about in the first paragraph below, was her view of Hawaii from a hotel room balcony that was visually interrupted by a large concrete/asphalt paved parking lot. Embedded video is a neat version of the song Joni performed later in her career.)
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique
And a swinging hot spot
Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got
Till it’s gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
They took all the trees
Put ‘em in a tree museum
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half just to see ‘em
Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got
Till it’s gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
Hey farmer farmer
Put away that DDT now
Give me spots on my apples
But leave me the birds and the bees
Please!
Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got
Till it’s gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
Late last night
I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi
Took away my old man
Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got
Till it’s gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

Tick Tock… Concrete Clock
Thanks, Gigi, for the find! It’s a concrete grandfather clock by Swedish design company Forsberg Form. A definite piece for my future home. He makes other concrete furniture - but the grandfather clock is precious. And probably pretty heavy.
