Gardening Quote of the Day
"Over the river and through the wood,
To grandfather's house we go;
The horse knows the way
To carry the sleigh,
Through the white and drifted snow.
(from Flowers for Children, "Thanksgiving Day,", 1846)"( -- Lydia Maria Child, American poet, author, abolitionist (born 2/11/1802)) Forum Photo of the DaySubject: TEST NO CHEATING! Which Palm is real?
