Our Death Star the Pentagon sounds more and more ineffectual and frustrated as it sputters at WikiLeaks to give back their files and delete them from the WikiLeaks site.
Even if WikiLeaks did delete them, methinks it's too late to close the barn door on that particular mule because he's already left the barn!
Oh what can an Imperial Empire do when the truth gets out and its hypocrisy is on full display? Why, demonize the other guy, of course.

Autumn beckons: are you knitting yet?
August has arrived and already my thoughts turn longingly toward Autumn, my personal fave of seasons - yet I am no longer a knitter or crochet-er! Here you see a new skein of scrumptious handspun and dyed yarn suitable for your special projects and which combines some of the best of autumnal colors, imo. This beauty is called 'Dabbler' and was spun and dyed by my fiberista daughter, Maya. You may check it and other lovelies out in her etsy shop SpringTreeRoad if you wish.
After all, Autumn will arrive before we know it and hand-knitted mittens, hats, and scarves make excellent, practical gifts for children and adults alike!

Summer 2010: bees like blackberries or trees a-fallin'?
~
This photo taken by my daughter Maya so far sums up Summer 2010 in Georgia in one photo. The pic was taken in early July near Atlanta, GA and I stand by the observation I made when I published it to Gather that one of them bares a stricking resemblance to a blackberry!
Can you see it?
Well, there may be one exception to summing up summer with blackberry bees: a storm last Sunday evening brought a tree down on my house so it's been a week of contractors, roofers, insurance adjusters, electricians, the power company, and the dumpster-bringer.
Yes, roof shingles have flown in a mad flurry this week and I've met quite a slew of new folks who all have been courteous and professional.
And though I was previously unfamiliar with Old South Traditions, an Athens-based construction, renovation, and storm damage repair business, this week has left me very impressed with their work and service. Check out their site if you wish!
It is a flash site so give it a few moments to load fully for a touch of Athens, GA, my hometown!
