Falling snow will soon lay a white blanket over
a piece of the earth.
And such beauty will be just a memory.
Selected cast of stones will be stored.
While others will have to endure old man winter
Be beautiful inside, in your hearts,
with lasting charm of a gentle quiet spirit which is so precious..
The Book of 1 Peter
The best part of beauty is that which no picture can express...
Bacon
A thing of beauty is a joy forever;
It's loveliness increases;
it can never pass into nothingness.
Keats
Holy,fair,and wise is she;
the heaven such grace did lend her.,
that she might admired be.
William Shakespeare
The dew of compassion is a tear.
Lord Byron
The block of granite which is an obstacle in the pathway of the weak ,
becomes a stepping-stone in the pathway of the strong.
Thomas Carlyle

I love your stone statues! They must look beautiful in your garden. Pamela
Oh how lovely! I would love for such beauty to grace my garden.
"The dew of compassion is a tear"...I love that quote. And the second statue was my favorite. Are these your statues, Shirley? This post was so gentle and beautiful.

I love the sculptures...and the words!
Very nice! Loved it! Yes this time of year forces some of us to store away our treasures. I did just that last weekend.
Beautiful post! Lovely statues, good job!~ :)
Oh Shirley what a beautiful post! Thanks for stopping by, I'm thinking about you, know that! One of my fur babies isn't well so I'm a bit pre-occupied with her at the time, hope to get back to blogging soon, my post was a quick one today. Big Hugs Marilou
