Love is a flower that grows in any soil, works its sweet miracles undaunted by autumn frost or winter snow, blooming fair and fragrant all the year, and blessing those who give and those who receive.

~Louisa May Alcott

What I Can't See on Wednesday

I usually like to share photos of what I see around here and out at the ranch.  Well, I did take a bunch of pictures to show you.  I just can't get them off of the card on onto the computer!  I have to go get a new card reader today.  My old one finally bit it and of course, I can't find the cord to connect the camera.  Ah well....

I thought I'd share a quote with you from a movie I saw earlier today "Post Grad".  It really stuck with me.  Michael Keaton plays Alexis Bledel's father in the movie and tells her

 "What you do with your life is only half of it, the other fifty percent is who you do it with."

Garden Sanctuary

You who walk,

Maybe with troubled thoughts,

Come, enter here and rest;

And may the sweet serenity of growing things,

And the heavenly peace

Be mirrored in thy soul.

with a passion for flowers in his soul.

Love is a flower which turns into fruit at marriage.

Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years.

Deep in the sun-searched growths the dragon-fly

Hangs like a blue thread loosened from the sky:

So this winged hour is dropt to us from above.

Oh! clasp we to our hearts, for deathless dower,

This close-companioned inarticulate hour

When twofold silence was the song of love.

-Rossetti, Dante Gabriel

Finally Friday - Dr. Seuss

I just love quotes by Dr. Seuss. You don't have to be 3 or 4 years old to appreciate them and how relative they are to our lives at any age. The first one is probably my favorite while the second is just really appropriate because I'm in love with the Hubby. (mush mush)

Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.”

You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”
