When a radiant sun sets over a glistening lavender bay,
Or a tiny baby robin takes its first flight during a magical spring hour,
What words come to mind, what grander message can one possibly convey?
For beauty is by far the most wondrous pleasure this world has to offer.
It takes its presence in every object and every being on this land,
From the most marvelous and kingly palaces to a delicate blossoming yellow daisy.
Beauty has no definite shape nor figure, as I have come to understand,
It all depends on how pure one’s mind and how deep his soul can see.
Thus, the brilliance of such beauty is without a doubt unrivaled in extent,
For how can one possibly compare the magnificence of a priceless Greek statue,
To the breath-taking elegance of a simple red rose left in its element.
For beauty should never be measured as many wrongfully do.
The uniqueness of said beauty has limitless achieve,
So open your eyes and acknowledge what others have failed to perceive.
What do you think about this sonnet i wrote for english class ?
Honestly, it sounds a bit choppy.
Reply:A good effort. You have a gift keep at it.
Reply:It's gorgeous.
Reply:Nature has touched you and that comes through in your poem. Indeed there is a depth to the soul from which beauty and wisdom spring. I found a contradiction, however. You say that beauty can't be compared and yet a statue can't be compared with rose, you are comparing. Keep up the effort.
Reply:Well done.

I need the set up for the vest of a daisy member of the girl scouts?
The link posted above is great, except it hasn't been updated in a few years so there are more items for the Daisy level that aren't listed.
Daisies now have troop numerals (white numbers on a yellow background) and all levels can wear the American Flag emblem.
The flag goes on the right shoulder (the girl's right shoulder, it's on the left when you look at the tunic), near the top where the seam to the back is.
A little below that, or about even with the World Association Pin or top of the insignia tab if worn, you place the troop numerals.
The packages the items come in have instructions for both how to put them on and a picture of where it goes. Hint: make sure you follow their directions *exactly* for ironing them on. If you try to cut corners, they don't stay as well. Also, if you're pressing the tunic to get out wrinkles, be careful not to iron over the "Daisy Girl Scouts" lettering near the bottom of the tunic, they can't take the heat designed for ironing the tunic.
The petals can be placed on in any order desired, they don't have to stay in the order they are shown. Many troops earn them out of order, anyhow. Just when you're spacing them remember you need to get 10 around - the easiest is probably to have one at the top, one at the bottom, and four petals on each side between them.
Besides the items shown on the GSUSA site or the troop numbers and flag, any other patches, pins, etc. are worn on the *back* of the tunic in whatever position you wish. They're usually given for fun events, and aren't considered official emblems or earned insignia, which is why they go on the back. That even includes patch programs that are actually earned through certain activities - they still go on the back.

I am starting my flowers n starter pots from seeds how many seeds should go n ea. pot they are like 2" by 2"
they are wildflower seeds like shasta daisy coreopsis, coneflowers, and sweet williams catch fly. should they even be started in starter pots?
I am starting my flowers n starter pots from seeds how many seeds should go n ea. pot they are like 2" by 2"
I always put 2-3 seeds per pot to start them (just in case they don't all germinate), and once they sprout and look nice and healthy (1-2 inches tall) I just take a pair of scissors and snip the extra ones, leaving the most healthy one to continue growing. I don't pull the extra ones out, because that may disturb the roots of the one I want to keep. Just a little snip.
Those kinds of seeds don't need to be started indoors, but can be if you want to plant them outside as plants. They are easier to control placement that way...good luck!
Reply:wildflowers dont need started in starter pots. they are really easy to take care of and will come up on their own fairly quickly if you plant them outdoors once it warms up and there is no threat of frost outside
Reply:Depends on where you are at...I would do 1 seed/plant to a starter pot in order to make it easier to plant later. All of these seeds do wonderful just scattered into your garden area with out "starting" them.

How long does it take a two year old pug to get use to a new puppy pug brought into the house?
My two year old pug, Peach, has always been the only one for two years. Now today I just brought home a new pug puppy, Daisy, and Peach who is always so sweet and loving is now snapping and barking at the new puppy when it comes near her. Will this last forever or is it something they both have to get use too? I really love both of them and I want things with them to get better :-(
How long does it take a two year old pug to get use to a new puppy pug brought into the house?
First of all, YEAH FOR PUGS! (I have a 2 1/2 year old %26amp; a 10-month old).
Take care of the problem now. Before I got my 2nd pug I had a boston terrier and my pug and her would go at it (blood all over). They would bite each other so hard and even with me pulling them apart would keep their teeth clenched down.
When I bought the 2nd pug (I took the terrier to a rescue group) they instantly bonded. I heard it's hard to have same sex dogs. But go to training class and scold Peach for growling or punking the new pup. When she scowls throw her on her back and let the puppy walk around her. One thing that will make it easier if you decide to go to a trainer is to write down every time Peach growls at the new pup. Is it when they are eating? Or when Daisy tries to play with a toy? Or maybe when Daisy tries to touch Peach?
Reply:Pugs can be notorious for not wanting to share a home with any other dog. Make sure she still gets her "respect" as the older and first dog! I'd spend some real quality time down on the floor interacting with both and supervising their activities.
Now it is not unusual for a adult female to take over the role of "mother" to a pup. They set the house rules and can help housetrain the pup by example. I've fostered many moms/litters and moms can be intense with pups at times, nipping or snapping at--but not really biting down. They are teaching respect. Give it time and be patient with both. The pup wants to play and Peach is just not sure at this point.
My Peach is my top pack dog for me--keeps everyone in line and teaches the young dogs for me. I fostered pups a lot for years for the rescue. It normally works itself out.

Any ideas for a birthday cake for my daughters 1st birthday next week?
I'd love to make her cake, something a little more than an iced sponge cake would be good, but I have no idea where to start!!
Although I am reasonably proficient in the kitchen, I am by no means an experienced cake decorator. Does anyone have any good ideas (with instructions please!) for a simple but effective cake? I was wondering about perhaps the hedgehog cake that was so impressive when we were younger... or a duck, or a ladybird would go down well with my daughter. Or a flower, seeing as her name is Daisy!
Pennies are limited at the moment, so buying fancy cake tins is out.
Many thanks for your ideas!

If you look in local directory you will find cake makers/decorators.Most will rent out cake tins so you could rent a teddy-shaped tin etc.
Reply:goto a cheap supermarket and buy a cheap one and then put extra tacky pinkicing on it to look like you made it. I did that for my daughters 1st.....or...better still....do what my sister does an get her nan to make one instead.
Reply:I would check on www.kraftfoods.com and use Kids Cake on the search. They have some really cute ideas for birthday cakes that are really simple and easy to make.
Reply:it's my sons 1st birthday on friday and i ordered a spongebob cake as he likes spongebob!i think a flower cake would be nice as you say her names Daisy.
good-luck and wish your daughter a early happy birthday!
Reply:make cupcakes and ice them with pink frosting. on the cupcakes, make a cute daisy flower with yellow and white frosting.
Reply:how about a simple lemon drizzle or something, you can make the decorations easily and it only has to be drizzled (hence the name of the cake)!
Reply:At craft stores or Walmart (craft section of coarse!) You can get the top half of a barbie doll.Make a round cake, like with a bundt pan. Once the cake is done and cooled, put the doll in the middle. You can use iceing and sprinkles to make her dress (Which is the cake). It's very cute! My aunt did this for her daughter's 1st!!!
You can also find great ideas at bettycrocker.com
Reply:Just a idea if you have a tesco's near you they make birthday cakes for you. All you do is take in a picture and it gets done for you, but have a look first at what they do and i dont think it was that expensive...... Just a idea
Reply:my girls love strawberries and the color pink. can't go wrong with a box cake if you are new to baking. get a strawberry cake mix and you can either get a white frosting and decorate with sprinkles(always a hit) or colored sugar, or even some cut up strawberries, or you can go pink on pink(pink frosting) and do your own combination decorations. just remember it's her 1st so any cake you put in front of her will make her just as happy and isn't that what counts?, believe me,the amount of money you spend does not.
Reply:Congrats FiFi :)
Try looking at these cakes...I'm sure you could improvise some, but they have great ideas...
You must look at this site first...I think you will find everything you need to make her the bestest first bday cake ever :) They also have such fun games and invitation ideas to make it a total theme...and it's all do-it-yourself things......kudos especially to M%26amp;M's for this site....(try looking at the kraft foods site too...they have nice ideas as well)

Reply:what is really good is a neopolitan layerd cake. First you cook a chocolate cake. let it cool and then put a vanilla cake in. while the vanilla cake is cooking you put anykind of icing that you like. take out the vanilla cake and put a strawberry cake in. while that one is cooking you put your favorite icing ontop of the vanilla and carefully put the vanilla cake ontop of the chocolate and put your favorite icing on that one. then you take out the strawberry cake and you can make a design but what is really good is putting vanilla icing and sprinkling strawberrys and chocolate chips ontop!
Reply:This is a great cake for a little girl. It is a daisy cake and it has a simple recipe and no special cake pan required. Here is the link...I think it would be perfect and it will impress your guests too!!!
Reply:Yay hedgehog!! I still remember the one my mum made me when I was small. Keep it simple and don't stress over it.
Hedgehog is probably easiest, is cheap %26amp; so cute. And really at 1 it's more for you %26amp; rest of family than the little one - she'll like the wrapping paper best!
Don't forget to take a photo.

Reply:I think this rubber duckies in a bathbub cake is adorable! The bathtub is the cake. Blue jello makes the water. The directions look pretty easy, too.

Reply:How about you make cupcakes instead or there are places now that make cupcakes and place them side by side to form a shape of cake before icing. Then when they ice them , they do so in a way that it looks like a cake but it's not, it's really the cupcakes.
Reply:Fifi - can you cut out a paper pattern for the Daisy petals - take a round cake for the center and put the petals you cut out of another cake around it? You could frost/ice the center with yellow done with food coloring and the petals with white. I think it would be beautiful!!!
How about one of these for Daisy - one of our home cooking TV cooks here in the USA made it:
Sunshine Cake
Recipe courtesy Paula Deen
6 eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup cold water
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract, or both
1 1/2 cups cake flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus pinch
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
Orange Butter Cream Frosting, recipe follows
Orange peel or zest, for garnish, optional
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Separate eggs carefully, putting whites in a large mixing bowl and yolks in another large mixing bowl. Beat egg yolks until light and foamy. Slowly add the water. Gradually beat in the sugar, then vanilla and/or almond extract; beat until pale and thick in texture (total beating time can be as long as 7 minutes). Sift flour again with salt and baking powder. Return to sifter and fold flour mixture into egg yolk mixture, sifting in a little at a time.
Beat egg whites gently until foamy. Add a pinch of salt and the cream of tartar. Increase the mixer speed and beat until they form moist, glossy peaks.
Pour the egg yolk mixture in thin stream over the entire surface of the egg white mixture, gently cutting and folding with rubber spatula, making sure everything is completely folded. Pour into an ungreased 10-inch round tube pan with a removable bottom. Draw a thin spatula gently through the batter to get rid of any large air pockets.
Bake on the second rack from the bottom of the oven for 1 hour. (The cake tends to fall a small amount after 50 minutes, so do not worry.)
Invert pan onto a rack and let cool out of the pan for 1 1/2 hours. Frost when cake is completely cooled. If desired, garnish cake with orange peel or zest.
Orange Butter Cream Frosting:
2 sticks butter
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Orange juice
Combine butter and sugar in a medium bowl. Add just enough orange juice to thin the frosting to a spreading consistency.
Reply:This may not work for her first birthday and if you're on a budget at the moment, but it's a good idea to keep in mind for future birthday ideas. When I was a little girl, my mom was famous for her cakes and she would make us a cake that showed whatever we were really into at the time....My Little Pony, Donald Duck (when I turned 2), Mickey Mouse, whatever. But she also made us little girls. They sell cake pans that are shaped like up-side down bells and all you do is make the cake itself in that shape and buy these little half Barbie things. Picture a Barbie body with a large tootpick instead of legs (she's cut off at the waist). You can use your daughter's Barbie clothes (or buy cheap ones) to cover her top, then decorate the cake however you want. You make her look like a princess, or a bride, or just like she's wearing a pretty dress. I've even seen one that looked like a mermaid sitting on a rock. You'll need to buy cake decorator tips and either buy, or learn to make, the stiffer icing needed for that kind of project.
Go to your local arts %26amp; crafts store to find all of the supplies and most often, the pan comes with decorating ideas. I made a bride for my best friend a few years ago for her engagement party and it was a big hit.
Good luck and Happy Birthday, Daisy!
Reply:you can make a bunt cake and its easy and fun to decorate you can even stick a barbi in the top middle part you might have to take of its legs though thats what my mom did for my cousin
Reply:Make loads of rice crispy buns. Use what ever recipe you have.
Make a conical out of thick paper.
Using glaced icing, icing sugar and water spread on bottom of bun cases and starting at the bottom of the conical layer the buns until you reach the top.
Decorate which party poppers, popped away from child, and drape over buns.
Did this for my daughter's first and it had many compliments as it looked wonderful but was actually very easy to make and totally stress free.
Reply:I got exactly what you need easy fast and cheap all in one
you could bake cup cake or a cake
theres some recipe here at the Michaels (The Arts %26amp; Craft store) website:
I picked out myself some recipe I taught you might like:
http://www.michaels.com/art/online/displ...
(especially for b-day celebration)http://www.michaels.com/art/online/proje...
(especially made for a 1st year old b-day)http://www.michaels.com/art/online/proje...
(easy n looks fancy and nice)http://www.michaels.com/art/online/proje...
you could also search for cake or cupcake and maybe you like something else the website is: http://www.michaels.com/
and theres also some classes you could learn more about it by asking on your local michaels or you could ask someone taking the classes to help you and like that they are able to practice or take the classes for a few days to learn the basics

INGREDIENTS
1 (8 inch) square prepared yellow cake
DIRECTIONS
Start with a cooled 9-inch square cake. From one corner, measure 5 inches along one side and 5 1/2 inches along the other. Cut on a curve through the points. Divide this in half, cutting on a curve to make two fins. From opposite corner, measure 6 inches along sides, and cut on a curve for tail.

Separate eggs carefully, putting whites in a large mixing bowl and yolks in another large mixing bowl. Beat egg yolks until light and foamy. Slowly add the water. Gradually beat in the sugar, then vanilla and/or almond extract; beat until pale and thick in texture (total beating time can be as long as 7 minutes). Sift flour again with salt and baking powder. Return to sifter and fold flour mixture into egg yolk mixture, sifting in a little at a time.
Beat egg whites gently until foamy. Add a pinch of salt and the cream of tartar. Increase the mixer speed and beat until they form moist, glossy peaks.
Pour the egg yolk mixture in thin stream over the entire surface of the egg white mixture, gently cutting and folding with rubber spatula, making sure everything is completely folded. Pour into an ungreased 10-inch round tube pan with a removable bottom. Draw a thin spatula gently through the batter to get rid of any large air pockets.
Bake on the second rack from the bottom of the oven for 1 hour. (The cake tends to fall a small amount after 50 minutes, so do not worry.)
Invert pan onto a rack and let cool out of the pan for 1 1/2 hours. Frost when cake is completely cooled. If desired, garnish cake with orange peel or zest.
Orange Butter Cream Frosting:
2 sticks butter
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Orange juice
Combine butter and sugar in a medium bowl. Add just enough orange juice to thin the frosting to a spreading consistency.
Reply:This may not work for her first birthday and if you're on a budget at the moment, but it's a good idea to keep in mind for future birthday ideas. When I was a little girl, my mom was famous for her cakes and she would make us a cake that showed whatever we were really into at the time....My Little Pony, Donald Duck (when I turned 2), Mickey Mouse, whatever. But she also made us little girls. They sell cake pans that are shaped like up-side down bells and all you do is make the cake itself in that shape and buy these little half Barbie things. Picture a Barbie body with a large tootpick instead of legs (she's cut off at the waist). You can use your daughter's Barbie clothes (or buy cheap ones) to cover her top, then decorate the cake however you want. You make her look like a princess, or a bride, or just like she's wearing a pretty dress. I've even seen one that looked like a mermaid sitting on a rock. You'll need to buy cake decorator tips and either buy, or learn to make, the stiffer icing needed for that kind of project.
Go to your local arts %26amp; crafts store to find all of the supplies and most often, the pan comes with decorating ideas. I made a bride for my best friend a few years ago for her engagement party and it was a big hit.
Good luck and Happy Birthday, Daisy!
Reply:you can make a bunt cake and its easy and fun to decorate you can even stick a barbi in the top middle part you might have to take of its legs though thats what my mom did for my cousin
Reply:Make loads of rice crispy buns. Use what ever recipe you have.
Make a conical out of thick paper.
Using glaced icing, icing sugar and water spread on bottom of bun cases and starting at the bottom of the conical layer the buns until you reach the top.
Decorate which party poppers, popped away from child, and drape over buns.
Did this for my daughter's first and it had many compliments as it looked wonderful but was actually very easy to make and totally stress free.

INGREDIENTS
1 (8 inch) square prepared yellow cake
DIRECTIONS
Start with a cooled 9-inch square cake. From one corner, measure 5 inches along one side and 5 1/2 inches along the other. Cut on a curve through the points. Divide this in half, cutting on a curve to make two fins. From opposite corner, measure 6 inches along sides, and cut on a curve for tail.
How bad will these types of flowers spread?
I bought a bag of Butterfly %26amp; Hummingbird Attracting flower seeds. What I would like someone to tell me is if these are the types of flowers that will spread all over my (and my neighboors') yard. Here's the seeds:
Baby's Breath
Zinnia
Chinese Forget Me Not
Bachelor Button
Cosmos Sensation
Candytuft
Shasta Daisy
Black-Eyed Susat
Alyssum
Scarlet Sage
Foxglove
Also, are these flowers ones that will come back year after year?
How bad will these types of flowers spread?
Cosmos are self re seeding and will spread , Black eyed susan will spread. What zone are you in? This will determine if they are considered hardy in your zone. Tender perennials are plants that in Southern zones are usually hardy, but in more temperate climates will only be annual. Foxglove, Forget me nots, and Baby's Breath(Gypsophilia) are generally perennials in all zones.You will have Cosmos re seeding every year, but not the same plants coming back.Black Eyed Susan can become a nuisance, seeding itself every where, becoming invasive.
Reply:Bachelor buttons spread to a degree, but they're not that invasive. The others are all fine. The zinna, cosos, candytuft, alyssum will last one year. The foxglove, bachelor button, daisy and black eyed susan should come back. I'm not sure about the scarlet sage or chinese forget-me-not, I don't recognize their names as flowers that I have seen or planted.I think your butterfly garden is pretty safe not to get out of control.
Reply:The foxgloves are biennials - they make a plant the first year amn may not flower until the next. then they will seed and new plants will appear in surprising places, but they are easy to pull out if you don't want them. Cant tell you awhat the others will do as it could depend on where you live.
Reply:some will depend on your Zone and how good your ground is. My last place I culdnt get Cosmos to grow,here it self seeds all over the place Forget me nots will also take over by slef seeding if its happy and Black eyed Susan is a perennial that spreads both by self seeding and by spreading by runners. Never grew Baby's Breath...Zinna like to self seed, as do bachelors buttons and daisys Foxgloves have to really like their soil to ..
Reply:Naa, won't spread. Not absolutely positive, but they all sound like annuals - - this year only unless you save seeds for next year. They will create seeds. If have concerns, pluck off the dead flowers %26amp; dispose of them or save seeds for next year. If saving seeds, make sure they are thoroughly dried out, zip lock bag %26amp; label with marker what is in it %26amp; what color.
The best thing I ever did was buy a perennial book for plants, trees, flowers that return each year. Then periodically I add annual seeds of different flowers in front %26amp; around my permanent plantings. I marked each item in that book for my zone. I can not pick %26amp; choose for sun/shade, height, color and when %26amp; how long they bloom. I also created my yard on a graph paper with each square as a foot. This helped over the years for fencing, plantings, fountain, etc... Each perennial I marked a number on my 'blueprint' and the explanation of its name, etc.. on the back for future use.
Lot of work, but it reduces remeasuring over the years and moving some plants again and again.
I got myself on a catalog mailing list through Gurney's, Burbee's, etc... which allowwed additional options other than what is being sold in my city only. Prices was cheaper, too.
