Queenkv’s Brainpickings

This is my entry for Moody Monday: Spring.

I took this pix at Colonial Willamsburg…in VA. Cute little town, with their Colonial buildings, colonial costumes, colonial cats…colonial gardens…like this one…however, Mark said if they wanted to keep it real to the colonial vibe…they should have been growing hemp.

Ok - so I guess in Colonial times…the colonia peeps used these bell-jar-like glasses to keep their crops warm…you know how the sun looks warm - but it’s not? So…they can trap the heat of the sun’s rays…in these glasses…pretty nifty.

And on a completely different tangent….from this awesome quotes site:

“It’s amazing that the amount of news that happens in the world every day always just exactly fits the newspaper.”

Hey folks…

Well…it’s Monday and who wants to go into work on a Monday? So…I’m taking my time on getting into the newsroom….I’ll probably leave around noon or so.

I’m finished my graduate program on Friday. When I walk in June, I will have a Masters of Science in Journalism. It feels bloody awesome!

I’m spending an extra week in DC to finish editing footage from Paris and Normandy. I owe my professors in Evanston some documentary-like video pieces. We’ll see how that goes.

I also got distracted by my blog. This morning, I wanted to experiment with a new style. I missed Europe…so I used this photograph I took from our visit to Bath. That was a lovely trip.

I’m thinking about making my brainpickings look like this.

What do you think? Which one do you like better? The current layout - all in purple OR the one with the Bath photograph?

Let me know please…
