Brenna Yovanoff Quotes
Once, I ordered two thousand lady bugs from the local garden center and set them loose in the atrium. I sprinkled marigold seeds in the ficus planters and put gold fish in the lobby fountain.

In letting fall the curtain of repose
On bird and beast, the other charged for man
With sweet oblivion of the cares of day.
