    @Victoria Are these trees in your garden or on your property? They are wonderful! I've never ever seen a tree with water pouring out of its trunk before! :rolleyespink: And that Wisteria must be centuries old! What a wonderful plant it is! :dbgrtmb::wow:

              "I asked an elderly woman once what it was like to be old and to know that the majority of her life was now behind her.
              She told me that she has been the same age her entire life. She said the voice inside of her head had never aged. She has always just been the same girl. Her mother's daughter. She had always wondered when she would grow up and be an old woman.
              She said she watched her body age and her faculties dull but the person she is inside never got tired. She never aged. She never changed.
              Remember, our spirits are eternal. Our souls are forever. The next time you encounter an elderly person, look at them and know they are still a child, just as you are still a child and children will always need love, attention and purpose."

                            Last year when a friend didn't get my birthday card to me on time she was upset, but I told her it didn't matter because I don't have birthdays, only my body gets older, I am the same now as I've always been.
