* Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal? Sign me up.

* I'm going to have to drive up to Cooperstown to see this. I love Walker Evans. I'm also going to have to go to Marfa, Texas, some day to see the boxes.

* I seem to be largely invisible at Home Depot, too.

* Thread bird's nests. Purty.

* I'm fairly certain I could never do this.

* Another entry on the list of Things I Don't Need But Still Sorta Want: Pussy on the Prowl.

* Hell, yes! It's decorative gourd season! (Stolen from Eisha)

* The irresistible allure of baby faces. (Stolen from blogless Ed)

* Coming soon to a theater near you. This may only be funny to those with small children.
