Day: October 7, 2010

An overflow crowd estimated at over 700 turned out to hear Bill McKibben, author of Eaarth and leader of an international grassroots climate change movement known as 350.org, give a talk at Warren Wilson College on October 6, 2010. The spillover crowd was able to hear McKibben’s lecture outdoors, thanks to a sound system allowing those gathered outside the chapel to listen. 

Over my first Sunday cup of coffee, I spied clouds racing by against a blue sky, trees bowing in the morning wind, and I knew: Our long, hot summer had finally stepped aside for autumn. I ran to the bedroom and said to my husband: “You’ve got to see this. It’s so beautiful!”
