This was inspired by a photograph of lilacs I captured at a historic landmark that is very dear to my heart on a delightfully warm, sunny day. The lilacs smelled wonderfully sweet and intoxicatingly uplifting.

Wow, a backup service that actually works with Vox! While this service performs daily backups of one or more blogs, it currently can only backup public posts and public images. It currently can not backup other media files and blog posts/media posted under privacy filters (such as neighborhood, family, and friends). Still, it's a good option in the interim of the Vox Team incorporating backup exporting for their blogs.

This is the tea menu from my favorite tea house. This cafe quickly became my sanctuary -- a place for me and my husband to get away and unwind. I will deeply miss this place.

This service, related to 43 Places and 43 Things, allows you to create lists of things you are "consuming" or have "consumed", such as books, music, movies, and food/drinks. It's an interesting alternative to other media collection websites like Shelfari (which I also really like).
