If the day and the night are such that you greet them with with joy, and life emits a fragrance like flowers and sweet-scented herbs, more elastic, more starry, more immortal–that is your success. Henry David Thoreau
My first reaction to the pic was… is that like alfafa?… can I put it on a sandwich? Perhaps I need to go eat…
It’s thyme you bonehead!
You want some alfalfa, Lise? All ya got to do is walk across the street from my house and you’ll be in a gigantic field FULL of it.
achooo!
You have a way with words hun Yes, a friend/cousin visited me last night. We haven’t caught up for months. He is a solid friend, we don’t talk personal things through, do talk about our kids and the trouble they facing. But it was a surprise that cheered me up some. xxx

*WOW* Truly. I know I say this every time I come here…but I love your photos. I love viewing them, learning from them and reading your quotes. Thanks.
Thyme, huh? Yep, that would be good on a turkey sandwich…
And you know what SoapOpera said about the sequence/pattern in your postings… it continues… from yesterday’s to today’s… was that one intentional now, or purely coincidental??
Lovely – I really enjoy your pictures, and the quotes really bring them meaning. Thanks.
Gorgeous and i needed that. I am not well (putting up a good fight, should be ok tomorrow) and so all I can greet the day with is vomit.
you know ..you do really good work… and I love the logo pic..
regards
Ain’t that Thoreau fella great? An ability to greet whatever comes with joy and enthusiasm is indeed a blessing. As humans we can but try to attain this. I know I struggle with it.
Thanks Molly, for another thought provoking page.
I think I would like to be small enough to rest on one of those tiny green leaves.
Beautiful.
I knew it was thyme because I have thyme. It’s good on everything…almost.
I just wanted to say Hi! I read your comment from Freyaluna’s site, and I live in Long Beach, CA, so I thought I’d introduce myself. I’m Megan and I live in the downtown area and work at CSULB. Would love to have you say hello. Take care in that snow!! Brrrrrr!
Beautiful picture + Quote Greeting days & nights with joy is a simple “discipline” … that brings infinites rewards … it’s worse a try
another Henry David Thoreau.
yes you rule.
Thanks so much for always sharing such beatiful photos with us.
Cheers!
i love the curves here….it reminds me of filigree….or probably where they got the idea for it
It looks so carefree! Intense quote. I greet the night with joy when I hit my pillow. And if I sleep that is a success.
So delicate! @-}-}–
henry always knew the right thing to say…
I can almost feel like I can smell it looking at it. Beautiful photo and I love the quote.
Joyful people are a gift to the world!
