As the days get shorter and the nights grow stronger we prepare ourselves for the coming snow. In my family this means breaking out the snow shovels and the cocoa mix and packing away our bikinis for next year. My favorite part of autumn is the visable changes in plant life. Everything is shutting down for the Winter, but it isn't dead yet. It's preparing and storing and slowing down, but its still very much alive. Our family has found ourselves with a squirrel pet. He hangs around in our yard, and occasionally we give him some peanuts while we watch him&amp;nbsp; prepare for the coming winter by stripping the black walnut tree in our back yard. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #6aa84f; color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #6aa84f; color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;As everything else is slowing down for the Winter months, Pagan Lily and I have decided to rebel against the norm and start up our new blog. Be sure to check out our profile pages and feel free to contact either of us for any reason.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #6aa84f; color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #6aa84f; color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;For now I leave you with an amazing video I found out Youtube.com about how Christianity came from astrology and worship for the&lt;span style="background-color: #3d85c6;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #3d85c6;"&gt;sun&lt;/span&gt;, which later got misinterperated into worship of the &lt;span style="background-color: #93c47d;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #3d85c6;"&gt;son.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #6aa84f; color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The video is called &lt;span style="background-color: #9fc5e8;"&gt;'Religion Comes From Ancient Astrology And Sun Worhsip&lt;/span&gt;' and is an atehist video, but I like how they put Christianity in a different perspective and actually even makes it sound a bit plausible. But then again, anything is plausible when you live in a country where the majority of people believe that a carpenter died to save the souls of billions of people he didn't know and would never meet and then rose again a few days later and is apparently coming back for goddess know what. The video comes in 3 parts and I have posted the links below. I hope you enjoy and invite you to come back and post your response to the video.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #6aa84f; color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #6aa84f; color: black; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sD9f0XU_S78"&gt;Religion Comes From Ancient Astrology And Sun Worship PART 1 OF 3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #6aa84f; color: black; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frwlyx2u8JE"&gt;Religion Comes From Ancient Astrology And Sun Worship PART 2 OF 3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #6aa84f; color: black; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovFFZ4iEFCo"&gt;Religion Comes From Ancient Astrology And Sun Worship PART 3 OF 3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #6aa84f; color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #6aa84f; color: #741b47;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #6aa84f;"&gt;Blessed Be )O&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #6aa84f;"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #6aa84f; color: #741b47;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #cc0000;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #6aa84f;"&gt;Alorelith Rose&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5941873463028702349-6656587398405832602?l=thepagangarden.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thepagangarden.blogspot.com/feeds/6656587398405832602/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thepagangarden.blogspot.com/2009/09/changing-leaves.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5941873463028702349/posts/default/6656587398405832602'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5941873463028702349/posts/default/6656587398405832602'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thepagangarden.blogspot.com/2009/09/changing-leaves.html' title='The Changing Leaves'/><author><name>Alorelith Rose</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14949755610279570806</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LhCxod73rXk/Srl9L9SqfLI/AAAAAAAAAAM/yxXjekgQeOA/S220/nn.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
