“Our unique ideas for decorating your home with pumpkins, gourds and squash go way beyond the basic jack-o’-lantern. Classic quilt patterns inspired the carved motifs of these white ‘Lumina’ pumpkins. Draw three parallel lines around each pumpkin, then vertical lines to form squares. To create the floral design, draw a petal within each square and, using a linoleum cutter or a chisel, alternate scraping away the petal or its surrounding area.” More via MSN lifestyle-Text adapted from Country Living’s new book, Pumpkin Chic-by Lauren Hunter

Psychology Today Article: Top Ten Smart Foods

Some edibles are especially good at protecting the brain’s delicate nerve cells and blood vessels from the damage that accompanies aging. Most of them squelch free radicals, the renegade oxygen molecules spun off as the brain goes about the business of the mind. Most of the foods that are smartest for the brain are also good for the heart because both rely on a steady oxygen supply. The risks for cardiovascular disease correlate with risks for cognitive decline.
