I'm am back from a much needed break. I hope everyone celebrated "Earth Hour" on Saturday. We ate ice cream and pie by candlelight and looked at the stars.

Sabina...I left my lights off for an extra hour...if anyone forgot they can use my credit! Your Earth Hour celebration sounds perfect.
Love the various interpretations of the Golden Rule.
Have a great Monday. ♥Rosemary
We celebrated earth hour also - we are thinking of making it a weekly event.
Thanks for all the "golden rules" - it is great to see that many beliefs have such great fariations.
We forget Earth Hour until half way through, then we turned off all the lights, and looked outside and our whole cul-de-sac was dark!! Lovely quotes...
you forgot wicca..
harm none, do what ye will.
What a lovely post! It's wonderful to see religions agree isn't it?
Yes, we turned our lights off and told stories by candlelight.
I didn't know about earth hour, but I love your post. Gorgeous pictures to match as always. It's strange that they all mean the same thing, but i like the confucianism one the best...
Vacations do a person good - and these quotes are very inspirational. The photos are so nice, too. Ice cream and pie by candlelight sounds wonderful. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you're back and enjoyed your time away.
