 Keep spiritually sound and be persistent. Persistence is the key. 

Just never stop believing in your dream.   Deborah Aquila 

After being alone working around the house all day I got the hankering for something so stuck it in the oven for dinner:

Roasted chicken?  Nope.  Mashed potatoes?  Believe it or not, it's a pizza that bubbled up to a giant round pouf!  I opened the oven and poked it all over but it stayed this way even after I put the toppings on it.  I had to squeeze it to bust it up in order to eat-  this hasn't happened before!  (I always give it a bit of pre-bake on the pizza stone so it doesn't get soggy before sticking on a minimum of sauce and cheese but this time it pretty much rolled off!)  

 Abstract paintings?  Almost.  Wrecked hulls from dead ships harbored in Nigeria and Cameroon are the subject of a fascinating series of images by Washington, DC-based photographer Frank Hallam Day. From afar, the photos look like abstract paintings on canvas, however upon closer inspection they reveal the rusted metal and worn paint that covers the side of the ships. 

 These little penguin 'jumpers' were being knit to help the little guys recover from being cleaned up from an oil spill.  All these were made as a competition that brought in more entries than they ever imagined-  aren't these the cutest?  Ever??  Being modeled by live, and grateful little penguins.

Also wearing sweaters are the Peeps involved in this knitting class.  They all made their little sweaters to protect them from having their bodies eaten first cause who wants a mouthful of wool?  also cute cute cute.
