LIFE
Life isn't about dawdling to the grave, arriving safely in an attractive, wrinkle-free body but rather an adventure that ends skidding in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, totally worn out, screaming "Yee-ha. What a ride!!"
Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass… It’s about learning to dance in the rain. (With thanks to shabby girl of A Travelling Fish )
But what are plans other than more restrictions? (With thanks to Pauline)

Definitely looking like Spring's beginnings :)
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Well, not the algae part, but watching the tadpoles grow.
ReplyDeleteNow, that's what a pond should look like, minus the algae, of course!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a bit of work for you, but it's a lovely pond and garden - and view! I wish you a lot of sunny spring and summer days to just enjoy it.
