Billie's Folly

If only...  Regrets can run deep, sometimes for years.  One second can stay with us for the rest of our lives.  You can have regret for something you did or something you didn't do, but wish you had.  Research has found that the most common regrets relate to education, career, romance, parenting and self-improvement.  These are the areas where people see their biggest opportunities or prospects for change.  

In keeping with my (previously unspecified) English Country House, I have three staddle stones in my garden.  Mine were imported from England and probably from the 1700's.  I use them as decorative garden ornaments.  Many people think they're just stone mushrooms, but they actually have a very long and interesting history. 

This is how the garden had erupted into blossom when I returned on Memorial Day.
