"For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth
forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God..."
Gardening Quote of the Day
"...Three words will cheer the saddest days
'I love you' - wrong by heck,
It is another, sweeter phrase,
'Enclosed find check.'
"( -- Douglas Malloch, American poet) Forum Activity
