Thoughts from Others.
"As soon as you talk to someone about an idea you have-they're going to dilute it." -Leonardo DaVinci
"Go to the pine if you want to know the pine." -Basho
"A lie can travel halfway around the World, before truth can even tie its shoes." -Mark Twain
Love, Love , Love the quotes...especially Mark Twain's quote...I invite you to check out my qual-quotes blog if you have passion for the quotable quotes...Later!
Well as a gardener you should know the old Chinese proverb (that I recently posted on my own blog):
"If you want to be happy for a week, get married. If you want to be happy for a month, kill your pig. If you want to be happy for life, plant a garden."
You really should add this to your string of quotes!
I just found your blog. I like the part in About Me that says you do not cut grass... My sister is a landscape architect and she always has people ask her to help design their yard, she tells them if you want me to put in a fountain and a concrete retaining wall around your water retention pond and spend more than you make a year doing it fine, otherwise get a good garden book and a shovel. She's bossy that way and we love her. However, all our (family) yards look like do-it-yourself projects - and so does hers.
