This and That
(Pink hydrangeas from a bouquet.)
This week really felt like we are getting back to a schedule for fall, and I love that feeling. The boys are adjusting well to school, and I’ve got a little extra time to myself during the week, too. This weekend, we’ve got a couple of small things planned, and it should be quiet and relaxing. Here are some things that made me look twice this week.
Congress posthumously awarded the Congressional Gold Medal to the four young victims of the 1963 church bombing in Birmingham, Alabama. I hope the families of the young girls can finally find some comfort and peace.
A twin profiles his brother, who was born with cerebral palsy, while he was not.
Twin girls who are photographed every year of their lives from ages 9 to 16. The photos are mesmerizing.
Who do women want to see as models?
A new exhibit examines the issue of the gay aesthetic in fashion.
A short and sweet video on Steampunk.
And my second post in a five-part collaboration with The Glamorous Housewife.
Finally! These LED light bulbs look like something I might actually like.
Have a fabulous weekend!
We’ve been trying to replace our bulbs with LEDs where we can, and CFLs, at least, in other places. The cost of them is kind of insane right now but the idea of not having to change bulbs for a long time helps! I’ll have to check out the Cree bulbs — they seem promising.
I hate how CFLs look so harsh and artificial, like the inside of a high school gym. I just can’t use them in the living room or bedrooms. I’m hoping these will be much nicer.
