LILY PADS



"You only see the top of a lily, but if you pull the lily pad out of the water, it has roots and tangled weeds and all the stuff that comes with it."

    Similar to what I've read it before..

    Hello Denise,
    Oh how true, when young we had a reasonable sized pond in the garden with Lily pads, a pleasant reminder, thank you.
    Best wishes ,
    John

    Lovely photos - I've never had a pond where water lilies could live. They're so pretty.

    Love water lilies. We used to have them when we had the fish pond outside. All now gone.

      Life is a roller coaster, not a boring old merry-go-round. Would you like to ride a roller coaster or a boring old merry-go-round, never going anywhere? I saw that somewhere also. Saw that years ago and it has stuck with me, and I still wonder about the answer :)
