"Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time."

Spring flew swiftly by, and summer came; and if the village had been beautiful at first, it was now in the full glow and luxuriance of its richness. The great trees, which had looked shrunken and bare in the earlier months, had now burst into strong life and health; and stretching forth their green arms over the thirsty ground, converted open and naked spots into choice nooks, where was a deep and pleasant shade from which to look upon the wide prospect, steeped in sunshine, which lay stretched out beyond. The earth had donned her mantle of brightest green; and shed her richest perfumes abroad. It was the prime and vigour of the year; all things were glad and flourishing. ~Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist

Today..a little fantasy...........

Tiny treasures of the Fairy Castle

DEAR ABBY: I operate a small Internet radio station out of my house in Texas. I play music 24/7, except on Saturday nights when I usually do a live talk show. A topic I raise every year coincides with my birthday. I announce to all who are listening that I have designated this day as Mind Your Own Business Day.

On this day, my listeners are reminded that if they disapprove of someone's choice of mate, clothing, religion, favorite music, pets -- and anything else that may be personal and nobody's business -- to keep it to themselves.

Would you be willing to mention this in your column and help me spread the word that while everyone has a right to an opinion, it doesn't mean everyone should be forced to listen to it? Thanks in advance. -- JIM IN TEXAS

DEAR JIM: Not only is your message succinct, your idea has merit. If more people followed your philosophy, it could eliminate a lot of conflicts, not to mention headaches.

What do you think?

Yes, they've always shown themselves in abundance, especially at the beaches. I was scared of them as a kid, but recently walked through a swarm of them with no fear & they paid no attention to me barging through!

Yes, Anne...this time of year here in SE Georgia, they are all over the place. They are rather large bugs, but they seem to be harmless to us. They enjoy eating mosquitoes, so that is why we like them.

My horoscope for today:

August 12, 2013

Leo (7/23-8/22)

Words do a great job of conveying your feelings, but there is nothing quite like physical contact when it comes to making a connection. Simple things like a handshake, hug, or even just a pat on the back will show people that you are genuine. When you meet up with a friend today, give them a hug and tell them how nice it is to see them -- they might be taken aback by your affection, but they will love how it makes them feel. And you will love making them feel that way.

I totally agree with this one.

The wife and I did spend a couple of days digging there on one of our trips to Florida.

We found a couple of nice little diamonds that she put into a pendant.
