oh to be young ...

“There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age.” Sophia Loren

ode to summer ...

To see the Summer Sky
Is Poetry, though never in a Book it lie -
True Poems flee.
~Emily Dickinson

I'm in the garden...

Earth laughs in flowers.  ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

feeling sorry for myself...

"All pain is either severe or slight, if slight, it is easily endured; if severe, it will without doubt be brief."  Marcus T. Cicero
 

I am just having one of those days, you know?  So I thought I would put feeling into form. I call it, "Something stinks."  Can you relate? Probably not.  Life is perfect for everyone else but me. Sigh.

I feel so much better now that I've sulked and pouted the morning away. Now to get on with my afternoon! I'm in the mood for a good romantic comedy and rolo ice cream.  

flowers for my mother...

    
When my parents spent the year with us my mother brought with her many of her own flowers from the acreage.  Now that they have returned to Busby she misses those dear friends she planted here. These pictures are for her.

I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck.  ~Emma Goldman

dreaming...

 
"Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning."  Gloria Steinem

"I do not seek. I find." Picasso

“Smile at each other, smile at your sister, smile at your brother, smile at your mother, smile at each other -- it doesn't matter who it is -- and that will help you to grow up in greater love for each other.” Mother Teresa
