Bells

A bell's not a bell 'til you ring it,
A song's not a song 'til you sing it,
Love in your heart wasn't put there to stay,
Love isn't love 'til you give it away!
~ Oscar Hammerstein II 
 

Any man's death diminishes me,
because I am involved in Mankind;
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
it tolls for thee.
~ John Donne 
 

Every time you hear a bell ring,
it means that some angel's just got his wings.
~ Frances Goodrich


I am trying to stay on task, which means I am trying to ignore my blog (more or less). Top priority: file the 2010 income taxes before my niece arrives from Oregon, at dawn on the 14th. I guess that gives me about two days, yet I'm still avoiding it. Second priority, which I actually am working on, is to plow through the many piles of papers and also pay the bills that sit here and languish, waiting for someone to pay attention to them.

Meanwhile, not wanting to totally desert my lovely blog readers, I am posting pictures and quotations. I do hope you enjoy them!
