Where the Sun Meets the Earth. Runner-Up in History Would’ve Burned This Page Challenge.
The red Nebraska sun had dipped down to kiss the tops of the corn stalk sentinels, silhouetting them against the burnt orange sky as they marched off to the horizon. Howard slowly meandered back to the farm house, a rivulet of sweat slipped down his neck under the collar of his work shirt and his muscles ached from a long day of working the fields with his brother. As he neared the rickety old porch he spotted his sister bent over a bucket shucking fresh picked ears of corn. A soft breeze floated past, carrying the sound of Lorna Belle’s gentle voice.

What's In Your House

However, my splash one (although it was good), and my rainbow one (although it was good), were getting a bit old, and I have used it for so many articles, it was time for a change. So this is the rose bush in my back yard. It is indeed also very pretty indeed.

Gold Frames...
March 12th, 1915... My Dear Beth, I know that you were born a month ago, and named for your mother, my dearest Bess. She tells me that she kissed my gold-framed photograph each night, now on your behalf as well as her own, until you are old enough to do it yourself. I pray that the Great War will be over before then, or that I will have had leave enough to come home so you both can kiss me in person, before that time.

Why Further Excavation at Mohenjo-daro Could Put Its Remaining Ruins at Greater Risk
Mohenjo-daro is one of the most important archaeological sites in the world. As a major city of the Indus Valley Civilization, it offers rare insight into one of the earliest urban cultures in human history. Located in present-day Sindh, Pakistan, the site is admired for its advanced town planning, drainage systems, brick architecture, and organized streets.

Have you ever seen a village where people still live inside caves? In Iran, there is such a place, and it feels almost like something from a fantasy story.
