From Our Friends: October 3, 2014

It’s the first Friday of October. So, all you Halloween-decorator holder-outers can finally decorate your home this weekend. But before you start to hang those cobwebs and admire the fall foliage, check out our weekly From Our Friends, our weekly column where we roundup some of OA’s favorite posts, published by our friends and partners around the web.
This week’s post features an article about a brave kid, a blog about a cute, autumn craft, a handy “Gilmore Girl” binge-watching guide, some potentially troubling news about avocados, and a recipe for homemade liquid hand soap. Also: Some good news about the Clooney/Alamuddin wedding photos and some news about how climate change may affect fall foliage.
