Life is much too busy and time available to smell the flowers much too short. This picture turned out the way it did completely by accident. I'm afraid that the busy life I live is much more by design -- although not always mine. I share my life with three teens -- two who happen to be twins, three horses, a dog, a cat -- I wish I could say two but one died of having lived this week, two ducklings and a parakeet. The design of my life is much more their doing than mine.
