Sunday Morning Reflections


Today's Quote by Henry David Thoreau

A man is rich


in proportion to 


the number of things 


he can afford to let alone.

    Oh, and isn't a shame that man is compelled to meddle with things?!

    Great reflection!

    Great Pictures. I especially like the first one. It looks like that chain is ready to be picked up and secure the gate together.
    Hope you are having a patriotic holiday weekend.

    Thanks for your comments. Because so many are having problems leaving comments in the embedded comment format that I was using, I'm switching to the pop-up window format. Hope that will work better for everyone.
    Fishducky: I guess you are rich if you can see the beauty in nature and enjoy the simple things in life. So, yes, rich I am.
    Nan: This was the first of her books, recommended by friends, that I read and I enjoyed it a lot. She even refers to River Town in her acknowledgement section.
    Patti: Thanks for pointing out that the embedded version still has problems.

    I got the book on Kindle today and started it. Loved the descriptions in the beginning I felt like I could just see that body floating there, very good writing.
