Quotes of Note

You're born a male but you have to CHOOSE to be a man" - Herm Edwards

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Unknown

"They err who think Santa Clause comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart." - Mrs. Paul M. Ell

"Thankfully, our true roots are in heritage and not things. I just need to keep reminding myself that things are only reminders of heritage." - Keetha Broyles, June 21, 2010

"Tears lubricate the soul." - from "Finding Buck McHenry"

"Somehow you must come to understand that God is love, that love is the proof of God, and forgiveness is the proof of love." - The Priest in "Levi's Will" by W. Dale Cramer

"The truth about a man is in what he does, not what he says." - W. Dale Cramer in "Levi's Will"

"Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." - G. K. Chesterton

It's Back!!!

AKA: Now THIS Is What February SHOULD Be
In Central Indiana

NOT 60 degrees
NOT torrential rain
NOT gale force winds
NOT mud

This:

It IS still winter you know!

It won't be spring until March 20

And all that 60 degree weather last week - - -

That was just a tease - - -

A fooler!

Snow on teasel

And tassel!!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

A little Valentine's Day trivia to go with this post: as I worked on these photos, I noticed that their folder was number 0214. How's that for Valentine's Day pictures!?!?

We saw Forsythia, violets, henbit, quince, thrift, and probably other flowers in bloom yesterday.

Of course we could get a freeze, or even a snow . . .; February 14, 2009 at 11:21 AM
Keetha Broyles said...: Of course you could - - - - and just think what it will do to all those foolhardy plants that already started blooming too soon.
