| I am needing some favorite quotes for a woodburning project that I am doing for Christmas. So I would love to hear all your favorite quotes and please list the author of the quote. If you don't know the author then please list "author unknown" after the quote. Here's some I like:
"Life just blooms when your a gardener." author unknown "One climbs highest who helps another up." author unknown "The Lord bless you and keep you." Numbers 6:24 If there are websites with quotes would love to hear about them too. And if you know the author for the first 2 quotes above would love to know that too. Enjoy this post,

| I just saw this over at the KT Forum, and love it! We cannot do everything at once but we can do something at once. Oh...not to nitpick, but it should be "Life just blooms when you're (Short for you are) a gardener." author unknown |

| Fun stuff. This one sums up my experience every spring: "When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant." ~Author Unknown |
