In the absolute of concrete….

Violets are blue;
But they don’t get around

Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your dream.�

It leaves their minds free to develop the plot for their next novel or to perfect the brilliant repartee with which they should have encountered a relative’s latest example of unreasonableness.
Christopher Lloyd

A good garden may have some weeds.
