"...Alice would say, 'When I grow up, I too will go to faraway places, and when I grow old, I too will live beside the sea.'
'That is all very well, little Alice,' said her grandfather, 'but there is a third thing you must do.'
'What is that?' asked Alice.
'You must do something to make the world more beautiful,' said her grandfather."
(from: "Miss Rumphius", by Barbara Cooney)
To do something to make the world more beautiful... isn't that a great motto? Which is why Alice, later Miss Rumphius (she needed some time to find out what it is she can make the world more beautiful with), sets out on planting Lupines everywhere....
Well, these are not Lupines, but beautiful flowers I received as a gift. Happy Spring everyone! :-)
