Weekend Reflections!!

Weekend Reflections is hosted by James each week beginning Friday at 11 AM Eastern Standard Time. It's another wonderful way of opening your eyes to new and different kinds of beauty. 

Visiting my old duck friends to say goodbye! I got the feeling that they couldn't care less!!!

Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.
Mark Twain

In separateness lies the world's true misery. In compassion lies the world's true strength
Buddha
Happiness consists in activity: such is the constitution of our nature; it is a running stream, and not a stagnant pool.
