Take it, or Leave it!

I spent some time at a ranch last weekend, just sitting outside and enjoying the fall scenery. I loved staring at the tress, the way they hovered over the pond, and waved their brightly colored leaves. Fall is absolutely my favorite time of the year! I think it's because I love watching the leaves change. Anyone who has known me very long, knows that I have always been drawn to leaves. I collected them for a few years in college. It was fascinating to me that you could find so many different kinds and colors, and that you could smash them in a book and preserve them for life. Now, I have a whole wall of framed leaves, and would add more if I thought it wouldn't make Ted crazy. There is something magical about them. They appear on the limbs of an ordinary tree...and suddenly that tree is no longer ordinary. It's like God reached down with His paintbrush, and splashed His watercolors, at all the right places. Whenever I hang one on my wall, I get this prideful joy out of it...like I just put up a God original. I love it!

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. If is possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll, I thank. Good bye friend.
