THE DAHLIES 110923

ANY GUESSES?

I went on an early morning walk along a road by the river.

Along the way I saw some weird things.  I don't know 

what they were but I have some guesses.

a.  Parts of a maze for giant hamsters

b. Hurdles for a groundhog race

c. Someone's failed attempt at...

..."Bring Me a Rock."

d.  Dead Pac Man

e.  Bird outhouses

f.  Low budget set for the shooting of a Ben Hur chariot race

g.  This way to the White Rabbit and the Red Queen

Okay, if you're so smart, what are they?

GOOD-BYES MAKE YOU THINK

Good-byes make you think.  They make you realize what you've had,

what you've lost, and what you've taken for granted.

Art is the unceasing effort to compete with the beauty of flowers--

and never succeeding.  

Gian Carlo Menotti

Earth laughs in flowers.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I am following Nature without being able to grasp her.

I perhaps owe having become a painter of flowers.

Claude Monet

People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy

the whole time to have such things about us.

Iris Murdoch

There are always flowers for those who want to see them.

Henri Matisse

As much as I love gardens and flowers, it's kind of nice to take a break from the

digging and weeding and let the snow decorate the yard for a while.
