Why Do Some Children Commit Murder?

Why Do Some Children Commit Murder?

The Olive Tree
cmoneyspinner, Olives are always a refreshing treat for me. It's such a storied tree, with so many spiritual associations and connotations. It's easy to understand that this tree would be connected with angels.

I had her up until my house burned a few years ago. Too bad, by now she'd be a collectible.

Cabbage Patch Hats for Babies and Adults
AbbyFitz, CPKs have such an adorable, distinctive look to them. I'm glad that your mom gifted you with your own CPK. Do you still have Elizabeth? Including birth certificates was such clever marketing.

Galileo Galillee was also against the majority view, in case you have forgotten.

Rabbit-Proof Perennials That Naturally Keep Peter Rabbit Out of the Garden
AbbyFitz, Me, too, I want the bunnies to stay. I love it when they stage bunny acrobatics in my back yard; it might be their way of saying "Thank you" for green strategies and no chemicals. :)

Arthur Rackham: the most influential illustrator of 20th century?
He was really very talented. His drawing of Alice in Wonderland is especially beautiful. I'm pinning this to My Wizzley Writing board.

Henry VII Marries Elizabeth of York: An Attempt to Strengthen His Claim
I think this one was going to last because they both wanted something out of it. Henry VII felt more secure on the throne and Elizabeth of York got the crown back into her own lineage. I think after her brother's death/disappearance (whichever ...

Henry VII Marries Elizabeth of York: An Attempt to Strengthen His Claim
I am always fascinated with marriages where love obviously wasn't a trigger. It seems they can last and even be more successful / happy than marriages 'of love'. Thanks for this fascinating story. Elizabeth of York was really special lady.
