Gardening Quote of the Day

"A generation of men is like a generation of leaves: the wind scatters some leaves upon the ground, while others the burgeoning wood brings forth - and the season of spring comes on. So of men one generation springs forth and another ceases. (from The Iliad) "

(Homer, Greek poet (born ~ 700 BC),)
