I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are written by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
Joyce Kilmer
Trees
A fool-proof method for sculpting an elephant: first, get a huge block of marble; then you chip away everything that doesn't look like an elephant.

Cut flowers you wish to preserve, with or without stem. Sprinkle borax on the bottom of a small box such as a shoe box. Add up to two flowers. Completely cover with more borax. Tape the box shut. Let sit at room temperature for about one week. When dried completely, strain off the borax powder; may be reused for more flower drying.
