“To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to the stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear on cheerfully, do all bravely, awaiting occasions, worry never; in a word, to, like the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common.” ~ William Henry Channing

Robin, my dear sister. Your blog has brightened my day. One fall when the girls were very young, maybe 2 or 3 they were crying, (make that screaming) in the car on the way home from who knows where. To calm them down I made up a song to the tune of "Making Whoopy" It goes like this:
The trees are naked
they have no clothes on
their leaves have fallen to the ground
The trees are naked
they have no clothes on
They're making compost!
duh-duh-duh-duh-duh duht!
I love you!
Your sis
