		<title>S is for Storm</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re getting ready for Hurricane Irene&#8230; I&#8217;m working emergency operations this weekend and E has tied everything down that could possibly fly away.  I&#8217;m hopeful that all the prep will be for naught, but better to be prepared than not.
Be safe this weekend, everyone.

		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t stopped the A-Z Challenge, I&#8217;ve just decided to approach it from the Dr. Who perspective.  Time is a little bit wibbely-wobbly these days.  End of the semester, getting the house ready for long-term guests, craziness at work, etc.
Stay tuned for the next installment: &#8220;R&#8221;.  It should prove to be interesting [...]]]></description>

		<title>Q</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The obvious &#8220;Q&#8221; would be Quercus.  Quercus alba, Quercus coccinea, Quercus velutina, etc.  But my favorite Quercus isn&#8217;t a tree, it&#8217;s Hydrangea quercifolia.
A beautiful Hydrangea (&#8216;Snowflake&#8217; is the variety I have), with double flowers and oak-shaped leaves that start a beautiful, fuzzy green in the spring, and end a beautiful, rich burgundy in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Oops</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My Red Rabbit Iris bloomed today.  Too bad I was so eager too see it.  When I bent over to look at the bloom, my library book slipped out of my hands and smashed the bloom &#8211; snapped it right off the stalk and smashed the petals into the ground.  . I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<title>Neck Lace</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always loved the word necklace.  Neck.  Lace.  So appropriate.

Truly inspiring art.  I encourage you to Google the [...]]]></description>
