| Nature "No matter what changes take place in the world, or in me, nothing ever seems to disturb the face of spring." --E.B. White "More than half a century has passed; and yet each spring, when I wander into the primrose wood, I see the pale yellow blooms and smell their sweetest scent; for a moment I am seven years old again." --Gertrude Jekyll "I grow my own vegetables for two reasons: The quality of the crops I can produce myself, and the quality of the time I spend doing it." --Barbara Damrosch "A weed is a plant that is not only in the wrong place, but intends to stay." -- Sara Stein "The whippoorwills had begun and fireflies winked and drifted among the trees beyond the road." --William Faulkner "Even if something is left undone, everyone must take time to sit still and watch the leaves turn." --Eliszabeth Lawrence "Autumn...makes a double demand. It asks that we prepare for the future--that we be wise in the ways of garnering and keeping. But it also asks that we learn to let go--to acknowledge the beauty of sparseness."--Bonaro W. Overstreet "To see a hillside white with dogwood bloom is to know a particular ecstasy of beauty, but to walk the gray winter woods and find the buds which will resurrect that beauty in another May is to partake in continuity." --Hal Borland "I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure in the landscape....Something waits beneath it; the whole story doesn't show." --Andrew Wyeth |
