Yet another benefit of living in Small Town Midwest™
The gals at the local nursery know *everything* about the plants I'm buying — and they'll tell me
You used to be able to go to the garden shop or hardware store and they’d get excited about your projects/give you pointers and now half the time you ask where something is and are met with a blank stare.

What's with the complaining about repeat adaptations?
Loving a book to the point of having wildly aggressive takes about its film adaptations is a wonderful experience that we all love but pretend not to.
I'm looking forward to loving & judging many more versions of Jane Eyre
Aimee Lou Wood to star in a TV adaptation of Charlotte Brontë’s ‘Jane Eyre.’

“My favorite thing is when your hands get old. That’s life, in your hands. Some of the most beautiful women I know are over 70, and what upsets me is that young women have no concept of what being beautiful actually is.”

It’s incredible that we’ve become so enmeshed into our phones that the idea of “discovering random movies and television out of boredom” reads as a cerebral exercise for children.
Who else remembers “TV will rot your brain”?
I’ve talked about it before but they used to show amazing stuff like this on random cable channels at like 7am. I distinctly remember seeing Jason and the Argonauts on a Saturday morning when I was like 10. I do think it sucks that you can’t discover stuff like that anymore

Yesterday, I took a pilgrimage with my fellow Design teammates from @WordOnFire to Holy Hill to see the relics of St. Thérèse of Lisieux. What a gift!
“There is but one thing to be done here below: to love Jesus, and to save souls for Him that He may be more loved.”
