"Nature is, above all, profligate. Don't believe them when they tell you how economical and thrifty nature is, whose leaves return to the soil. Wouldn't it be cheaper to leave them on the trees in the first place?"
~~Annie Dillard

Grand daughter Shelby spent her time this afternoon cleaning out her school work folder and doing homework instead of watching TV. Her choice. Big spelling test tomorrow. Way to go, Shelby!

Day Three Hundred Nineteen 2010
"The stripped and shapely
Maple grieves
The ghosts of her
Departed leaves.
The ground is hard,
The ground is hard,
As hard as stone.
The year is old,
The birds are flown.
And yet the world,
And yet the world,
In its distress,
Displays a certain
Loveliness"
~~John Updike, A Child's Calendar
