Treasury Tuesday: Opals for October

Opals are October’s modern birthstone (there are other types of birthstones). Opal is said to symbolize confidence and faithfulness. It is also said to bring good luck to the wearer, though others claim that it reflects the wearer’s energy back to them – that only those who radiate positivity should wear opal. Regardless of all that, though, they’re pretty.

Happy Squirrel Awareness Week! That’s right, it’s the special week where we can all appreciate the squirrels in our lives. I plan to try to snap some pics of the locals, which I will of course post. Cheers to The (Other) Kennedy Compound, who is also celebrating!
