Rules For Your Garden

1ST: Plant five rows of P’s,

Presence

Promptness

Preparation

Perseverance

Politeness

2ND: Plant three rows of squash,

Squash indifference

Squash criticism

Squash gossip

3RD: Then plant five rows of lettuce,

Let us be faithful to duty

Let us be unselfish and loyal

Let us obey the rules and regulations

Let us be true to our obligations

Let us respect one another

4TH: No garden is complete without turnips,

Turn up for meetings

Turn up with a smile

Turn up with the determination to

make Everything count for something good and worthwhile.

The Constitution of the United States guarantees the pursuit of happiness, but it is up to you to catch up with it.

Ignorance

I love love love this weeks quote from the Kitchen Club of '52. It has made me think.... and I believe it to be so very true. Just think about it, what do you not know well about? Life in Indonesia? How people survived or didn't in the Great hurricane of 1780? Well there you are. You are ignorant. What do you know plenty about? Laura Ingalls Wilder? The life of bees? Well, you are not ignorant on this subject then. You are ignorant in something though....Guaranteed.

 

"Everyone is ignorant -only on different subjects".

"Thank God every morning when you get up, that you have something to do that day which must be done, whether you like it or not. Being forced to work and forced to do your best will breed in you temperance and self-control, diligence and strength of will, cheerfulness and content, and a hundred virtues which the idle never know. "

"Well arranged time is the surest sign of a well arranged mind"

My Treasures

 

"I have many jars of Coral and many jars of Jade,

And jars of Rose and Crystal with Topaz tints inlaid.

They did not come from China - they did not come from Rome,

They're full of Plums and Peaches, canned on hot days, at home"
