I have been working on my taxes for the past few days and followed Mark Twain's advice. It worked and I will soon be finished. Hooray!

A wonderful short film . . .

Vampire Killing Kit circa 1800 brings $14,850 . . .
A complete and authentic vampire killing kit, circa 1800 and housed in a walnut case, sold for $14,850.
Natchez, Mississippi ~ A complete and authentic vampire killing kit — made around 1800 and complete with stakes, mirrors, a gun with silver bullets, crosses, a Bible, holy water, candles and even garlic, all housed in a American walnut case with a carved cross on top — attained $14,850 in the Jimmy Pippen estate sale by Stevens October 3–4, 2008 in the new Natchez Convention Center.
The sale comprised the contents of Pippen's stores (Pippen Antiques and Pippen Interiors), items from his personal residence (which he considered a perfect creation and called "Paradise"), the contents of another home (a three-story, 1850s townhouse called "The Orchard" that he restored with fine appointments and rented out) along with other treasures from several warehouses.
Hmmm. I wonder if this kit would work on werewolves too?

March 1st | Lion or Lamb? . . .
Today is the first of March and I can't decide if it has come to my area like a Lion or a Lamb. It is overcast and cold with a few snowflakes beginning to fall as a major snow storm heads this way by evening. I could wake up to a foot of snow on Monday morning so this is probably the calm before the storm. Can you believe it? Yesterday was beautiful with cloudless blue skies. What a difference a day makes!
I am going to pick Lion because the old saying is that if March comes in like a LION it will go out like a LAMB. We will see if I made the right call at the end of the month.

Memory is the Power to Gather Roses in Winter . . .
It is a beautiful sunny day here with spring in the air even though it's cold. I won't gloat over my nice weather because I know many areas are still deep with snow. This post is dedicated to them. Enjoy your Saturday no matter what the thermometer says. ♥Rosemary
I don't usually put unrelated links in my posts but today I will. I think you will enjoy the wonderful site below with alphabetical photos of baby animals. It's very entertaining and educational too. I love the three infant hedgehogs.
Garden Shed of my Dreams . . .
Isn't this the best garden shed you have ever seen? I did not save any of the text so I can't furnish any details. Enjoy and if you build it, please send me a photo.

In Love with A. Lincoln | Another picture story by Maira Kalman . . .
She recently visited the Lincoln Archive at the Rosenback Museum and Library in Philadelphia where she fell in love with Abraham Lincoln.
Read the entire illustrated picture story about Lincoln here with many more of Maira Kalman's wonderful illustrations for you to enjoy. You can thank me later! I was so happy to learn that there will be a feature in the New York Times every last Friday on "The Pursuit of Happiness". I hope we won't have to wait too long for another illustrated story by Maira. I love that she's always hungry and feels compelled to tell us what she eats! I wonder what's in a Lincoln Italian sub?
You will probably want to go back and view her picture story called 'MAD ABOUT THE MET' here.
Thanks for stopping by. ♥Rosemary
