I doubt that will ever change. I do enjoy your Snoopy snippets, Gayle, and it's great you've incorporated your love of horses into your stories.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10384070533603453713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954486699810607306.post-70878503620796105782013-08-16T08:44:25.823-07:002013-08-16T08:44:25.823-07:00A raven is like a writing desk for two reasons: #1...A raven is like a writing desk for two reasons: #1.

(By the way, I'm going to try to do some retroactive comments on the blogs I missed. Not all, but as many as I can.)<br /><br />I have a good friend who rides horses in shows. I can appreciate it from his enthusiasm. I grew up watching Westerns, so I learned early that riding was a skill. And since I also learned that skills have to be learned and practiced...<br /><br />I love metaphors. And analogies. <br /><br />Why is a raven like a writing desk? One is black as ink the other blots ink (or it did when Lewis Carroll wrote). <br /><br />A better question is why a duck?David Y.B.

That visually beautiful images were created using more rules than we could ever know. Talent. Hard work. And oh yeah… rules.Peg Brantleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04906858123466177508noreply@blogger.com
