A long-distance friend on Facebook is engaged. She wrote on her fiancé’s wall this week,

but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
I remember a time when my hand had been idle, while on away on vacation, but when the temperatures had cooled off some and the humidity was in breathing range, I donned my garden gloves and headed out to give this poor Dianthus some badly needed attention.
