Evening, Wisdom and Beauty

A man growing old becomes a child again.
Sophocles

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.
Mark Twain

An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have. The older she gets the more interested he is in her.
Agatha Christie

    Such glorious tulips Sylvia, love those massed plantings.
    Sophocles knew what he was talking about, I've been living with it for quite a while now.

    Have a happy weed my dear.

    Hi there - nice post - and the polar bear one is funny!

    I'm not sure what the bird in my picture is doing - it just opened its beak for a bit and just stood there! Strange!
