Madeleine L’Engle, Writer of Children’s Classics, Is Dead at 88 - New York Times

Wasn't the beginning of August like yesterday? This month is just flying by, but I'm fine with that as long as it takes all these triple-digit temperatures with it. The heat ...

Dorothy Apron - Black/Red by Carolyn's Kitchen featured by Bunny Maxwell
