watching leaves change from green to yellow and reading "The Thing Around Your Neck" by Chimanda Ngozi Adichie. So very tired today. The rest and her beautiful writing are giving me energy.

@ the Clubhouse Thursday night for second Phillies/Yankees game of the 2009 World Series. Yanks won 3-1. No one very upset because we'd taken one @ their yard and now we come home for three games.

6109 Ridge Avenue (at Connaroe)
Muralist Dennis Haugh has designed a beautiful mural illustrating Roxborough's Ridge Avenue, native plants, the Historic Valley Green Inn and Fairmount Park. A huge turtle represents the endangered animal life of the Schuylkill River in the spirit of a future that is growing healthy and prosperous. The World on a Turtle was sponsored by Green Ridge Ventures and the City of Philadelphia.

Belliveau & O'Donnell:
Their pictures were stunning, their stories remarkable.
