I think I may be a better person for having given serious time and thought and effort to gardening.

Buttons are the fossils of the sartorial world, enduring long past the garments they were designed to hold together.

Getting over those unexpected hurdles may not be exactly enjoyable, but ultimately I believe that such challenges and the solutions we find give us more confidence.They teach us with common sense and determination we can turn what looks like a disaster into a triumph.

I must reclaim my good life and I must return to my good works.

I want you to know that I am innocent - and that I will fight to clear my name.

I live in an old house with no closets and no built-ins. I hate big cupboards.

You have to be open to change. I never stop making sure that what I say is the best of what could be said about a particular thing. It's a constant evolution. If I planted a tree one way yesterday and somebody tells me of a better way to plant a tree, I think, You know, they're right, that's better. Then I change my way to accommodate the new way of planting trees.
