   Even without a pool, and ridiculously hot temps, and this lovely poem, I’m OK I’m missing most of winter. 🙂 Thank you so much for dropping by “Honey.”

   Sometimes it’s hard to define the pure sublimity of words. This however defines it perfectly!

    Are you aware of the Fibonacci Sequence and the Golden Ratio? If anything deserved the adage “pretty clever” it would be this. Lovely.

       I used the Golden Ratio to layout some plantings in our garden… It’s all quite amazing, isn’t it? Thank you so much, as always, for visiting and taking the time to comment – it is a gift. Be well~
