Round Up

R.I.P. Wangari Maathai, what a wonderful, courageous, intelligent beautiful woman. Someone I admired wholeheartedly.

I'm enjoying the 3x3x 365 blog.

It's Banned Books Week.

I usually wait until October 1st to decorate my mantle with pumpkins and gourds, but I couldn't wait and decorated it this past weekend. I love all of the autumnal splendor.

The Big History Project.

High-tech bereavement: Legacy.com, GoneTooSoon and Remembered Forever.

These cookies are just too beautiful to eat.

And by the way, I have become addicted to Pinterest.

I think I am going to have to buy a hat from the Krochet Kids. What a wonderful cause.

Most of you have heard of the Make A Wish Foundation, but did you know there is a Twilight Wish Foundation. Twilight provides wishes for senior citizens.

I so want one of these in my yard.

Good Grief-Stick on eyeliner.

Generally I am all about peonies, but I also like roses. There's just something about them in general and for me the deepest, darkest red the better. However, I am becoming quite partial to amnesia roses.
Virtual firefly habitat.

Ergo Ergo Chair.

I've heard good things about the MacAusland woolen blanket.

Argyle Yarn Wreaths-I could seriously make wreaths all day long.

Pumpkin Spice Latte, just like Starbucks.

That's all for this week. Have a great week. 4 days until October.

"In a few decades the relationship between the environment, resources and conflict may seem almost as obvious as the connection we see today between human rights, democracy and peace." ~Wangari Maathai
