My Current Favorite Quotes

Here are some of my current favorite quotes:

By singing "O how beautiful"

My love she's but a lassie yet,
We'll let her stand a year or twa
She'll no be half sae saucy yet."

Now guess who said the last one- "We could all enjoy being in an ill-humor over weeding the garden, were there not so many reproving metaphors to be found in the business, staring us blankly in the face."

Hope you enjoyed them! I am afraid I could be the lassie discussed in the second-to-last quote! :) -Rachel
