9. Won' t you share it?

Or do you just want to tease us?

13. The skies can't keep their secrets...

The skies can’t keep their secret!
They tell it to the hills—
The hills just tell the orchards—
And they the daffodils!

A bird, by chance, that goes that way
Soft overheard the whole.
If I should bribe the little bird,
Who knows but she would tell?

I think I won’t, however,
It’s finer not to know;
If summer were an axiom,
What sorcery had snow?

So keep your secret, Father!
I would not, if I could,
Know what the sapphire fellows do,
In your new-fashioned world!

- Emily Dickinson

[JTG of the PRB]

15. WOW!!!

That's so weird... Those pictures are almost EXACTLY what I had in mind when I was writing part of this novel where a character wakes up, dazed and confused, in a field of sunflowers. That's just amazing!

Where were those pictures taken?

[DS1]

17. 3 miles off exit 56, I95, MA

18. I had an epiphany

I was laying this beautiful field and the bright sun shone down on me. I looked over to see a ladybug making its way along the blades of grass. I realized that what she was doing was absolutely vital not just to her but in some way to all of our existance we shared that in common in our daily lives that no matter what we do, no matter how trivial it seems, it is part of a process it serves a purpose. That is when I had my epiphany........









I need to stop drinking before noon.

:hi:

[Midlodemocrat]

I'm redoing the kitchen in a 'Provence' theme and sunflowers factor greatly. I appreciate it!

I would much rather have nice photos than watercolors.
