Okay, I have stared at this longer then I want to admit. I don't get it.

Oh, I missed that. I was looking for a funny. There is such a thing as over thinking something.
Thanks for clearing that up for me. 
Ken, love the garden photos. You all are so lucky to have so much land. We did a few yrs. back, but decided to move when all of the kids were out, but one. We had a nice sized garden like that. Miss it. Remember I put forks out in my tiny garden area to keep the cat away? Well, it worked .. for a few days, I see that he's getting around them.
I've heard that putting moth balls in your beds will keep stray cats out. Never tried it so don't know. Anyone else ever heard of that?
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.” “Oblivion is full of people who allow the opinions of others to overrule their belief in themselves.”
“A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul.”
“Nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength.”
“If you treat an individual as he is, he will remain how he is. But if you treat him as if he were what he ought to be and could be, he will become what he ought to be and could be.”
“Nothing shows a man's character more than what he laughs at.”
Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one's thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world. “The greatest thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving.”
“We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.”
“To be loved for what one is, that is the greatest exception. The great majority love in others only what they lend him; their own selves, their version of him.”
There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots, the other, wings.
“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.”
“All truly wise thoughts have been thought already thousands of times; but to make them truly ours, we must think them over again honestly, until they take root in our personal experience.”
“There is no past we can bring back by longing for it. There is only an eternal now that builds and creates out of the past something new and better.”
“Nine requisites for contented living:
Health enough to make work a pleasure.
Wealth enough to support your needs.
Strength to battle with difficulties and overcome them.
Grace enough to confess your sins and forsake them.
Patience enough to toil until some good is accomplished.
Charity enough to see some good in your neighbor.
Love enough to move you to be useful and helpful to others.
Faith enough to make real the things of God.
Hope enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future.”

They don't understand, until they have their own.
