such nice words for such a sad little story.
but then i was thinking,
maybe she needed your nurture,
that is before she went back out into the big world.

I had tended them all from tiny little shoots to the most magnificent display. Oh well. I make sure I chain those b*&!ӣ to the porch now. :)

I have to blogroll your page so I can come back. Lovely stuff.

I was angry with my friend:
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I watered it in fears,
Night and morning with my tears;
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright.
And my foe beheld it shine.
And he knew that it was mine,

And into my garden stole
When the night had veiled the pole;
In the morning glad I see
My foe outstretched beneath the tree.
