You are absolutely right about the importance of instilling values when a child is very young. The parent or caretaker needs to model these behaviors, also, to make the lessons believable to the child.

You can conserve water in a fountain and still run it. You only have to have the water go up the same pipe that it flows from. Our baptismal font at church has water coming our of the middle and it just drains to run again. I've heard of other fountains doing it. I think they devised that way so you could do both - run and conserve water at the same time. Blessings Nancy
Beautiful - but don't think I would like to look after it.

What a twit I am being this morning!! Going to be a rough day. Really tired from going to Bend yesterday and the thunderstorms are making my pain worse as they pass through. That sentence should have read " in exchange for owning that garden" I need to learn to proof read more. Hope no fires get started. Be safe all.

GREAT quotes, aussie! The Alexander Bell quote reminds me of a paraphrase of it, "God never closes a door without leaving a window open." Blessings, aussie!
