I have a penchant for quoting LOTR each day, and on one particularly rough kiddie day,
I told Nikirj "Osgiliath is overrun."
It is an appropriate metaphor for our life here!

The Entrepreneur Rides Again
Our daughter is still committed to buying herself an airplane ticket. She does want to see some family members, but I think the primary interest at this point is riding the clouds. To that end, she has launched her very first CafePress store.
Before I did one. Whoops.
So please do visit, and if so inclined, help a driven little girl in her own personal fundraiser!

The White House Garden
http://www.whitehouse.gov/video/Inside-the-White-House-The-Garden/
I was such a happy camper when Michelle Obama put this in. As my own garden is coming to an Autumn Pause, I went looking to see how the White House garden was doing. According to Time magazine this month, the WHG has produced 250 pounds of food this summer.
This video jazzes me in so many ways--- the ties to the Victory Gardens I tried to model this year; the ties to Jefferson in Virginia; the obvious reasons we should be gardening and eating with our family.
It's something peaceful and optimistic to consider while everything else political rages on about us.
