I’ve just spend a good 20 minutes or so deleting porn trackbacks and comments from my blog. I usually have a couple to delete each morning but today they surely have outdone themselves.

Blog Notes:

Mrs. Wilt is back at The Sparrow’s Nest and she has found some useful printables at Martha Stewarts’s website.

My friend, Jeanne, has been playing around in OneTrueMedia.com and put together some pretty videos.

Kim, who always has great ideas, is thinking about Christmas shopping already and offers ideas for Christmas Gifts for Less.

There is a beautiful spirit breathing now
Its mellowed richness on the clustered trees,
And, from a beaker full of richest dyes,
Pouring new glory on the autumn woods,
And dipping in warm light the pillared clouds.
Morn on the mountain, like a summer bird,
Lifts up her purple wing, and in the vales
The gentle wind, a sweet and passionate wooer,
Kisses the blushing leaf, and stirs up life
Within the solemn woods of ash deep-crimsoned,
And silver beech, and maple yellow-leaved,
Where Autumn, like a faint old man, sits down
By the wayside a-weary.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow~
