    6. Carpet: It's in the bag

      Rugs have been appearing on shoulders and wrists and backs, carried as colorful, one-of-a-kind purses and handbags. These modern carpetbags use kilim (flat weave), dhurries (hand-woven, vegetable-dyed cotton), <em>suzani</em> (embroidered cotton or silk) and other, often vintage, global textiles to create truly distinctive purses. Each one tells a story, which is part of the charm.

      One of the stands of lemon grass in the middle of the <a title="Vermont Square Community Garden" href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/home_blog/2011/05/vermont-square-community-garden.html" target="_blank">Vermont Square Community Garden</a> is in full flower now, a somewhat unusual occurrence. It&rsquo;s not a particularly attractive phase for the plants, which look like overgrown weeds on their last legs. Fortunately the plants' useful life isn't over; the stage is&nbsp; simply another turn of the wheel, the clumps of lemon grass scattering seeds to expand their reach.

    8. Bring my son, and everyone else's, home from Afghanistan

      My soldier son called last month to wish his mother and me a happy Thanksgiving. My iPhone buzzed and there he was, sitting in a gun tower, his smiling face bathed in gauzy infrared light, an M249 machine gun propped at the ready behind him. For security reasons, we didn't talk about his location. It could've been Afghanistan, Iraq or Kuwait. He's spent the better part of this year serving in all three.
