We've got a snow day. Yes I know I'm in Arizona but I live in the mountains so sometimes we get snow. And we got it yesterday and last night. So I thought I take sometime this morning to post another page to the Alice journal. This is a favorite picture. I'm not sure what you would call them. The wire croquet "baskets" but I love the way Natasha Burns uses them. I found this photo in Artful Blogging winter 2009. I have played croquet since I was a kid. And still love it. Although never with a flamingo. But it would be fun to give it a try.
The quote reads
“Tis so,” said the Duchess: “and the moral of it is –
‘Oh,’ tis love, tis love,
that makes the world go round!"
‘Oh,’ tis love, tis love,
that makes the world go round!"
The facing page.
Another quote goes on:
Another quote goes on:“I quite agree with you,” said the Duchess;
“and the moral of that is
‘Be what you would seem to be” or,
if you’d like it put more simply –
‘Never imagine yourself
not to be otherwise
than what it might appear to others
that what you were"
“and the moral of that is
‘Be what you would seem to be” or,

Having never really read Alice in Wonderland before, either as a child or as an adult. It was just to crazy or should I say mad to read. But having spend some time studying it for this journal I have found that once you sort through the madness you can begin to glean the truths from it.
Just like life.
Isn't it!
