Sugar cookie egg decorating!
Our new-ish couch.The extension of our backyard patio.
The site of our future shed.
If I could tell you
Time will say nothing but I told you so,
Time only knows the price we have to pay;
If I could tell you I would let you know.
If we should weep when clowns put on their show,
If we should stumble when musicians play,
Time will say nothing but I told you so.
There are no fortunes to be told, although,
Because I love you more than I can say,
If I could tell you I would let you know.
The winds must come from somewhere when they blow,
There must be reasons why the leaves decay;
Time will say nothing but I told you so.
Perhaps the roses really want to grow,
The vision seriously intends to stay;
If I could tell you I would let you know.
Suppose the lions all get up and go,
And all the brooks and soldiers run away;
Will Time say nothing but I told you so?
If I could tell you I would let you know.
by the fabulous and brilliant
W. H. Auden (1907 - 73)

Love that couch.
The patio is lovely.
Wish I had a shed going in.
That was a poem, wasn't it?
Your egg cookies are so pretty and i love the shape of the patio.
the cookies look scrummy and the sofa very comfy. Throw in a cup of tea and i'm there...with a good book of course....
