This quote spoke to me this morning:
Carlos Castaneda, a Peruvian-American author with a doctorate in anthropology who died in 1998, said, “The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same."
What do you think? Do you agree?

Next year I'm going to save myself $13.00 and use sheaves of my decorative grass instead of buying corn stalks. What do you think?

My garden isn't ready to give up, yet. And I'm already dreaming of spring with the help of 48 new daffodils.
