THOROUGHLY USED UP


"I WANT TO BE THOROUGHLY USED UP WHEN I DIE, FOR THE HARDER I WORK THE MORE I LIVE. I REJOICE IN LIFE FOR ITS OWN SAKE. LIFE IS NO 'BRIEF CANDLE' FOR ME. IT IS A SORT OF SPLENDID TORCH WHICH I HAVE GOT HOLD OF FOR THE MOMENT, AND I WANT TO MAKE IT BURN AS BRIGHTLY AS POSSIBLE BEFORE HANDING IT ON TO FUTURE GENERATIONS."

    Enjoyed the quote, and am not quite sure what the black parts of your tree are.
    Love your new header.
    Hoping you have a wonderful weekend. It's pouring here right now. In the morning everything will be turned green...like magic. I love spring. Thanks for posting the lovely photos of your spring.

    Very like the one Vegas Princess has on her site, but much more elegant!
