The Orchard House: Little Women 1868

Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents, grumbled Jo, lying on the rug.It's so dreadful to be poor! sighed Meg, looking down at her old dress.

I don't think it's fair for some girls to have plenty of pretty things, and other girls nothing at all, added little Amy, with an injured sniff.  We've got Father and Mother, and each other, said Beth contentedly from her corner.

The four young faces on which the firelight shone brightened at the cheerful words, but darkened again as Jo said sadly, We haven't got Father, and shall not have him for a long time. She didn't say perhaps never, but each silently added it, thinking of Father far away, where the fighting was.

"Greeting cards have all been sent...." Richard Carpenter (1984)

Greeting cards have all been sent

The Christmas rush is through

But I still have one more wish to make

A special one for you

Merry Christmas

The Garden of the Mind's Eye

"From December to March, there are for many of us three gardens - 

the garden outdoors, 

the garden of pots and bowls in the house, 

and the garden of the mind's eye."

-   Katherine S. White

All Star

And He Grew

and grew strong as a boy

must grow who does not  know

that he is learning any lessons, and

who has nothing in the world to

think except things to eat

Rudyard Kipling

Emily Dickinson's - I'm Nobody!  Who are you?

I'm Nobody!  Who are you?
Are you -- Nobody -- Too?
Then there's a pair of us!
Don't tell!  they'd advertise -- you know!

How dreary -- to be -- Somebody!
How public -- like a Frog --
To tell one's name -- the livelong June --
To an admiring Bog!
